Fraction Subtraction Formula
Explanation:
To subtract two fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator by multiplying both denominators, adjust the numerators accordingly, perform the subtraction, and simplify the result.
Fraction Subtraction – Calculation Example
Subtract: 3/4 – 1/6
Step 1: Find common denominator: 4 × 6 = 24
Step 2: Adjust numerators: (3 × 6) = 18, (1 × 4) = 4
Step 3: Subtract: 18 – 4 = 14
Step 4: Result = 14/24
Step 5: Simplify: 14/24 = 7/12
Result: 7/12
