Enter fraction(s) below:
We want to subtract the following 2 fractions:
Match Denominators
Denominator 1 ≠ Denominator 2.
We need matching denominators
Multiply fraction 1 numerator * fraction 2 denominator.
Multiply fraction 2 numerator by the fraction 1 denominator
| Fraction 1 - Fraction 2 = | Numerator 1 * Denominator 2 - Numerator 2 * Denominator 1 |
| | Denominator 1 * Denominator 2 |
| Fraction 1 - Fraction 2 = | 3 * 2 - 1 * 4 |
| | 4 * 2 |
| Fraction 1 - Fraction 2 = | 6 - 4 |
| | 8 |
| Fraction 1 - Fraction 2 = | 2 |
| | 8 |
Reduce our fraction
GCF(2 and 8) = 2
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/2) x 2 = 1
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/2) x 8 = 4
