Answer:
5/8-1/6=11/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The prime factorization of the denominators:
8 = 23
6 = 2 × 3
Multiply all the unique prime factors, by the largest exponents:
LCM (8; 6) = 23 × 3 = 24
Divide LCM by the numerator of each fraction.
For fraction: 5/8 is 24 ÷ 8 = (23 × 3) ÷ 23 = 3
For fraction: - 1/6 is 24 ÷ 6 = (23 × 3) ÷ (2 × 3) = 4
5/8 - 1/6 =
(3 × 5)/(3 × 8) - (4 × 1)/(4 × 6) =
15/24 - 4/24 =
(15 - 4)/24 =
