2. Cross multiplication method.

(5/6) - (2/19) using LCM Method:
What is 5/6 minus 2/19 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 2/19

What to be found?
(5/6) - (2/19) = ?
Find what's the difference between 5/6 and 2/19.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/6 and 2/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/6 and 2/19 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 5/6 and 2/19:
The LCM of 6 and 19 is 114.

step 4 Write the fractions 5/6 and 2/19 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 5/6 - 2/19
= [(5 x 114)/(6 x 114)] - [(2 x 114)/(19 x 114)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 95/114 - 12/114

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/114 x (95/1 - 12/1)
= 1/114 x (95 - 12)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/114 x 83
= 83/114
5/6 - 2/19 = 83/114

Hence,
5/6 minus 2/19 as a fraction is 83/114.
