(8) - (6/19) using LCM Method:
What is 8 minus 6/19 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 8/1
Fraction B: 6/19

What to be found?
(8) - (6/19) = ?
Find what's the difference between 8 and 6/19.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 8 and 6/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 8 and 6/19 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 8 and 6/19:
The LCM of 1 and 19 is 19.

step 4 Write the fractions 8 and 6/19 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 8 - 6/19
= [(8 x 19)/(1 x 19)] - [(6 x 19)/(19 x 19)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 152/19 - 6/19

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/19 x (152/1 - 6/1)
= 1/19 x (152 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/19 x 146
= 146/19
8 - 6/19 = 146/19

Hence,
8 minus 6/19 as a fraction is 146/19.
