Find the lowest common denominator as for instance 3/4 minus 1/2 is the same as 3/4 minus 2/4 = 1/4
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
To subtract dissimilar fractions, first find a common denominator for the fractions. This involves determining the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator. Finally, subtract the numerators of the adjusted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.
To subtract dissimilar mixed fractions, first convert each mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Next, find a common denominator for the improper fractions. Once you have a common denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Finally, if needed, convert the result back into a mixed fraction.
It is an instruction for you to carry out the arithmetic operation of subtraction on fractions whose denominators are not the same.
similar fraction is the same denominator and dissimilar fraction is cannot the same denominators

Make them into improper fractions, find the least common denominator, convert them, subtract, reduce if possible.
Dissimilar fractions may or may not be proper fractions.
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
Used for adding dissimilar fractions
The meaning of dissimilar fractions is when there is a pair or more of fractions that don't have the same denominator.
