Concept

Subtraction of fractions involves subtracting two or more fractions with the same or different denominators. Similar fractions can be subtracted directly, but for different fractions we must first match the denominators and then subtract them. In mathematics, a fraction is a part of a quantity from a whole. The integer can be any number, special value, or item. We can perform various arithmetic operations with fractions such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

There are different types of fractions based on the numerator and denominator. They are:

Proper Fraction: In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator.

Improper Fraction: In improper fractions, the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed Fraction: A mixed fraction is a combination of a proper fraction and a whole number.

Unit Fraction: In a unit fraction, the numerator should be equal to 1.

Equivalent Fractions: Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same value. If we multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same value, we get equivalent fractions.

Similar Fractions: Fractions with the same denominators are called similar fractions.

Unlike Fractions: Fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions.
