(4/9) - (4/11) using LCM Method:
What is 4/9 minus 4/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/9
Fraction B: 4/11

What to be found?
(4/9) - (4/11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 4/9 and 4/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/9 and 4/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/9 and 4/11 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 4/9 and 4/11:
The LCM of 9 and 11 is 99.

step 4 Write the fractions 4/9 and 4/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 4/9 - 4/11
= [(4 x 99)/(9 x 99)] - [(4 x 99)/(11 x 99)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 44/99 - 36/99

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/99 x (44/1 - 36/1)
= 1/99 x (44 - 36)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/99 x 8
= 8/99
4/9 - 4/11 = 8/99

Hence,
4/9 minus 4/11 as a fraction is 8/99.
