When subtracting a fraction what do you do when you subtract a big number from small?

One thing that worked for me was to subtract the smaller from the bigger and then put a negative sign in front.
Just as in subtracting 23 from 17.
To calculate 17 - 23
calculate 23 - 17 = 6
and put a minus sign in front: -6.
Same process.

Discuss the possible advantages and disadvantages of using least common denominators when adding and subtracting fractions?
By using least common denominators when adding and subtracting fraction you get small numbers which are easy to perform operations on. On the other hand if you deal with common denominators which are excessively large, then you will find that operations are harder to perform. The one disadvantage of using LCD is that they can occasionally be difficult to find.
In math you know when you a question and then you answer the question what do you call it?
