(3/5) - (7/19) using LCM Method:
What is 3/5 minus 7/19 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/5
Fraction B: 7/19

What to be found?
(3/5) - (7/19) = ?
Find what's the difference between 3/5 and 7/19.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/5 and 7/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/5 and 7/19 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 5 and 19 is 95.

step 4 Write the fractions 3/5 and 7/19 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 3/5 - 7/19
= [(3 x 95)/(5 x 95)] - [(7 x 95)/(19 x 95)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 57/95 - 35/95

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/95 x (57/1 - 35/1)
= 1/95 x (57 - 35)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/95 x 22
= 22/95
3/5 - 7/19 = 22/95

Hence,
