2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) - (1/95) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/95 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/95

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/95) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/95.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/95 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/95 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 1/95:
The LCM of 8 and 95 is 760.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/95 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/95
= [(2 x 760)/(8 x 760)] - [(1 x 760)/(95 x 760)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 190/760 - 8/760

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/760 x (190/1 - 8/1)
= 1/760 x (190 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/760 x 182
= 182/760
= 91/380
2/8 - 1/95 = 91/380
