2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/91) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/91 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/91

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/91) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/91.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/91 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/91 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/91:
The LCM of 8 and 91 is 728.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/91 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/91
= [(2 x 728)/(8 x 728)] - [(1 x 728)/(91 x 728)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 182/728 - 8/728

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/728 x (182/1 - 8/1)
= 1/728 x (182 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/728 x 174
= 174/728
= 87/364
2/8 - 1/91 = 87/364

Hence,
2/8 minus 1/91 as a fraction is 87/364.
