2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/9) - (1/75) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 minus 1/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/75

What to be found?
(2/9) - (1/75) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/9 and 1/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/75 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 1/75:
The LCM of 9 and 75 is 225.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/75 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 - 1/75
= [(2 x 225)/(9 x 225)] - [(1 x 225)/(75 x 225)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 50/225 - 3/225

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/225 x (50/1 - 3/1)
= 1/225 x (50 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/225 x 47
= 47/225
2/9 - 1/75 = 47/225

Hence,
2/9 minus 1/75 as a fraction is 47/225.
