Learn how to find what is 9/5 minus 10/7 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 9/5 - 10/7 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 9/5 minus 10/7 = 13/35
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 9/5 minus 10/7 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 9/5 and fraction 10/7 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 7. 35 is the LCM of 5 and 7. Multiplying the LCM 35 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (9/5 x 35/35) - (10/7 x 35/35), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 9/5 is 63/35 and for 10/7 is 50/35. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 63/35 - 50/35, it becomes 13/35.

(9/5) - (10/7) using LCM Method:
What is 9/5 minus 10/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/5
Fraction B: 10/7

What to be found?
(9/5) - (10/7) = ?
Find what's the difference between 9/5 and 10/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 9/5 and 10/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 9/5 and 10/7 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 9/5 and 10/7:
The LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

step 4 Write the fractions 9/5 and 10/7 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 9/5 - 10/7
= [(9 x 35)/(5 x 35)] - [(10 x 35)/(7 x 35)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 63/35 - 50/35

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/35 x (63/1 - 50/1)
= 1/35 x (63 - 50)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/35 x 13
= 13/35
9/5 - 10/7 = 13/35

Hence,
9/5 minus 10/7 as a fraction is 13/35.
