Let's start today's learning with fractions and specifically studying the area of how to subtract fractions. To start with it, we should understand what is a fraction? In simple words, Fraction is a rational number having a numerator and a denominator. As for example: 2/4, 5/8, 8/9 and so on.
Now moving on to subtracting fractions, when the denominators are similar subtraction with fraction is very easy. All you need to do is take the denominator as common and subtract the numerators. But subtracting fractions having different denominators has a slightly different method. At first the LCM of both the denominators has to be found out and then taking a common denominator for both the fractions, the subtraction should be performed.
With mixed fractions, first it has to be converted to an improper fraction and then similar way the fractions should be subtracted. For more help in this topic one can also avail to online help. One can connect with a free math tutor online tutor and learn the subject with one on one conversation.
Next session we will move on at learning some other concepts of fractions. Till then enjoy this session, do practice problems and improve your knowledge over fractions.
