Fractions are not whole numbers. They are fractions. You can call a fraction a whole number, but that doesn't make it one.
You first need to find a common denominator, not necessarily the least common denominator. Next, you rename the fractions according to the common denominator. Only then can you subtract the fractions. After subtraction you should simplify the answer.
