Subtract the two fractions. To subtract them, they must have a common denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator of by
to create a common denominator of
, then subtract the numerators and reduce the resulting fraction.
Example Question #1 : How To Subtract Fractions
What is the result of this operation?
Since the denominators are exactly the same, we can just subtract the tops.
So
By reducing we get
Example Question #122 : Rational Numbers
What is the result of this operation?
Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.
So
Example Question #123 : Rational Numbers
What is the result of this operation?
Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.
By reducing our result, we get

Example Question #4 : How To Subtract Fractions
What is the result of this operation
Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.
which we can reduce to
Example Question #1 : How To Subtract Fractions
What is the result of this operation?
Since the denominators are different, we need to transform them into the same denominator.
So
becomes
Now subtract the numerators
