2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/9) - (1/41) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 minus 1/41 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/41

What to be found?
(2/9) - (1/41) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/9 and 1/41.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/41 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/41 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 2/9 and 1/41:
The LCM of 9 and 41 is 369.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/41 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 - 1/41
= [(2 x 369)/(9 x 369)] - [(1 x 369)/(41 x 369)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 82/369 - 9/369

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/369 x (82/1 - 9/1)
= 1/369 x (82 - 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/369 x 73
= 73/369
2/9 - 1/41 = 73/369

Hence,
2/9 minus 1/41 as a fraction is 73/369.
