91/6 - 33/4

To calculate this we need to...

convert both numbers to improper (or 'top-heavy') fractions

to find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the two denominators

re-calculate the two numbes using the LCM

91/6 ..... 6 x 9 = 54 ..... 54 + 1 = 55 ..... 91/6 = 55/6

33/4 ..... 3 x 4 = 12 ..... 12 + 3 = 15 .... 33/4 = 15/4

The factors of 6 are 2 and 3, and the factors of 4 are 2 and 2 - so the LCM must be 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

55/6 = 110/12

15/4 = 45/12

110 - 45 = 65

65/12 = 55/12
