Given:

We are given a fraction:

13/36 - 2/40

Find:

We need to subtract the fraction.

Solution:

First, lets make the denominators of the fraction same by taking LCM:

LCM for 36 and 40:

36 = 2 ×2 × 3 × 3

40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5

LCM = 360

So, we get that:

130 / 360 - 18 / 360

Solving it further, we get that:

= 112 / 360

= 14 / 45

Therefore, after subtracting 13/36 - 2/40, we get 14 / 45.
