The answer when subtracting one number from another is called a difference. When subtracting one fraction from another, it is still called a difference.
subtracting fractions
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
You have to find a common denominator, multiply them, subtract them and then simplify if you need to.
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
Subtract as if there were no denominators.
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

The answer is called a difference, just like if you had subtracted two integers. The fact that the answer is quantitatively a fraction doesn't matter in regards to its name.
You need a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.
