Subtract simple fraction calculator

1. If the two denominators are not multiples of each other, multiply the denominators directly to find a common denominator.
2. If one denominator is a multiple of the other, use the larger denominator as the common denominator.
3. If the denominators are already the same, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Example 1: Find the simple fraction subtraction of 3/5 - 1/5.
Solution: Both fractions have like denominators i.e 5
Subtract both fractions i.e 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5
Simple fraction subtraction of 3/5 - 1/5 = 2/5.

Example 2: Find the simple fraction subtraction of 11/6 - 7/8.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 44/24 and 21/24
Subtract both fractions i.e 44/24 - 21/24 = 23/24
Simple fraction subtraction of 11/6 - 7/8 = 23/24.

Example 3: Find the simple fraction subtraction of 8/11 - 7/22.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 16/22 and 7/22
Subtract both fractions i.e 16/22 - 7/22 = 9/22
Simple fraction subtraction of 8/11 - 7/22 = 9/22.

Example 4: Find the simple fraction subtraction of 37/10 - 14/5.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 37/10 and 28/10
Subtract both fractions i.e 37/10 - 28/10 = 9/10
Simple fraction subtraction of 37/10 - 14/5 = 9/10.

Example 5: Find the simple fraction subtraction of 16/12 - 3/8.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 32/24 and 9/24
Subtract both fractions i.e 32/24 - 9/24 = 23/24
Simple fraction subtraction of 16/12 - 3/8 = 23/24.
