subtract, with the same and not the same denominators

• when a fraction's denominators are the same, you only subtract the numerator and keep keep denominator, then turn it into a mixed number
• steps when a fraction's denominators are the samesubtrac

  1. subtract the numerators
  2. look to see if you can simplify
  3. turn to a mixed number
• when a fraction's denominators aren't the same, the first step is to find the lcm by listing the multiples of the denominators and find the common factor
• the second step when the fraction's denominators aren't the same, after listing, we have to multiply the number we multiplied to get our denominator to our numerator and denominator
• the 3rd step when the fraction's denominator aren't the same, we have to subtract our multiplied numerators, we simplify, after that, we turn it into a mixed number
• steps when the denominators aren't the same

  1. list the multiples of the denominators and find the common factor
  2. multiply the number we multiplied to get the common factor by our numerator and denominator
  3. subtract the numerators
  4. look to simplify
  5. turn to a mixed number
