Understanding Fraction Subtraction

How to Subtract Fractions

To subtract fractions, you need to ensure they have a common denominator. Then subtract the numerators:

\( \frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad - bc}{bd} \) (when denominators are different)

Or simply \( \frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{b} = \frac{a - c}{b} \) (when denominators are the same)

Why Simplify Fractions?

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to work with and understand. A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
