Learn how to subtract two fractions with unlike denominators

👉 Learn how to add and subtract fractions whose denominators are not the same. Recall that when we want to add or subtract fractions having the same denominator, we add the numerators and retain the (common) denominator. This is different when the fractions have different denominators. When adding fractions with different denominators, we convert the fractions to equivalent fractions having the same denominator. This is achieved by finding the LCM of the different denominators (the least number that the denominators can divide without remainder). We then multiply the denominators by a number which will yield the LCM. You will also multiply the numerator by the same number with which you multiplied the denominator. Notice now that the fractions have the same denominator. We can now add or subtract the numerators retaining the common denominator.

Im watching this cuz quarantine made me forget everything abt fractions lol

[ebelin]

Sad how I’m watching this In 7th grade 😔

[oi_oi_oi-dv]

my teacher takes 1 hour to teach us this and what i learn

nothing nothiiing

[ryry]

here take some food and beverage we all know this isnt your first time here

[lychmrcd]

The thing is yes you learn from these yes you MIGHT use them in your life but most of the time students will forget this because they’re just gonna focus on more complex stuff like algebra and calculus so you learn from this but eventually youll just forget it

[nineball]

i am so dumb and tysm this actually helped ALOT!

[mf]

Ppl who came here to answer their module

[josephineguadayo]

thanks i wish you are my math teacher!

[Chai]

sigh fractions and geometry are my worst subjects and well I need help with them but this video helped a lot P.S sad I'm in 6th grade and still need help 😔😔

[renanteentes]

THANKYOU VERRY MUCH!! I DONT REMEBER WHAT MY THEACHER TEACH NEW SUB HERE

[sharktail]

My teacher teached me for 1 hour but never understand anything but I understand now because of this vid ty so much

[sarahnn]

me learning this just the other day forgetting how to do this😭

So in other words, if you multiply the fraction with lowest denominator with a number in both the numerator and the denominator that will match the fraction with the highest denominator and solve it then you will get the answer. Like in the example that he gave, the denominator of the fraction with the lowest denominator is 3 and the fraction with the highest denominator is 6. So you have to multiply the fraction with the lowest denominator (3) with 2/2 in order to make it match the fraction with the highest denominator (6) and make the fractions of the equation have similar denominators.

You won’t believe how much this helped me!!! Thank you so much this is one of the easiest ways to do it.

[alitoyuki]

Basic multiplication always makes me cry

[benmemon]

Wait what if the denominators aren't a multiple of each other?

[sani]

Thank you I was running into that same type of problem just multiplying the denominators and athinking that was the LCM and then trying to subtract only to get it wrong. Thanks for the explanation 👍

[bibeksutradhar]

Thanks it helped me in the substraction of fraction

[mattychamberlain]

I just cried for an hour about how to do this

[avielwhittingham]

I'm watching this cuz I knew about everything in math but there is a test tomorrow and I forgot everything about fractions
