2. Cross multiplication method.

(9/1) - (4/13) using LCM Method:
What is 9/1 minus 4/13 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/1
Fraction B: 4/13

What to be found?
(9/1) - (4/13) = ?
Find what's the difference between 9/1 and 4/13.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 9/1 and 4/13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 9/1 and 4/13 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 9/1 and 4/13:
The LCM of 1 and 13 is 13.

step 4 Write the fractions 9/1 and 4/13 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 9/1 - 4/13
= [(9 x 13)/(1 x 13)] - [(4 x 13)/(13 x 13)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 117/13 - 4/13

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/13 x (117/1 - 4/1)
= 1/13 x (117 - 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/13 x 113
= 113/13
9/1 - 4/13 = 113/13

Hence,
9/1 minus 4/13 as a fraction is 113/13.
