(7/6) - (7/16) using LCM Method:
What is 7/6 minus 7/16 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/6
Fraction B: 7/16

What to be found?
(7/6) - (7/16) = ?
Find what's the difference between 7/6 and 7/16.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/6 and 7/16 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/6 and 7/16 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 6 and 16 is 48.

step 4 Write the fractions 7/6 and 7/16 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/6 - 7/16
= [(7 x 48)/(6 x 48)] - [(7 x 48)/(16 x 48)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 56/48 - 21/48

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/48 x (56/1 - 21/1)
= 1/48 x (56 - 21)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/48 x 35
= 35/48
7/6 - 7/16 = 35/48

Hence,
7/6 minus 7/16 as a fraction is 35/48.
