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

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

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

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/7 and 3/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/7 and 3/19 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 3/7 and 3/19:
The LCM of 7 and 19 is 133.

step 4 Write the fractions 3/7 and 3/19 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 3/7 - 3/19
= [(3 x 133)/(7 x 133)] - [(3 x 133)/(19 x 133)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 57/133 - 21/133

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/133 x (57/1 - 21/1)
= 1/133 x (57 - 21)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/133 x 36
= 36/133
3/7 - 3/19 = 36/133

Hence,
3/7 minus 3/19 as a fraction is 36/133.
