2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   The process for subtracting fractions is, in essence, the same as that of adding them: find a common denominator, and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the chosen common denominator. The resulting fraction will have that denominator, and its numerator will be the result of subtracting the numerators of the original fractions.

   Compu-Math: Fractions was the first program created in the Compu-Math series, being introduced in Edu-Ware's March 1, 1980 catalog. Fractions six learning modules include tutorials on definitions, common and lowest denominators, fraction addition, fraction subtraction, fraction multiplication, and fraction division. Each module includes the use ...

4. Subtraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

   While primarily associated with natural numbers in arithmetic, subtraction can also represent removing or decreasing physical and abstract quantities using different kinds of objects including negative numbers, fractions, irrational numbers, vectors, decimals, functions, and matrices. [2] In a sense, subtraction is the inverse of addition.

   Proper fraction – Fraction with a numerator that is less than the denominator; Improper fraction – Fractions with a numerator that is any number; Ratio – Showing how much one number can go into another; Least common denominator – Least common multiple of two or more fractions' denominators; Factoring – Breaking a number down into its ...

6. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

   For example, the numerators of fractions with common denominators can simply be added, such that + = and that <, since each fraction has the common denominator 12. Without computing a common denominator, it is not obvious as to what 5 12 + 11 18 {\displaystyle {\frac {5}{12}}+{\frac {11}{18}}} equals, or whether 5 12 {\displaystyle {\frac {5 ...

7. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   The irreducible fraction for a given element is unique up to multiplication of denominator and numerator by the same invertible element. In the case of the rational numbers this means that any number has two irreducible fractions, related by a change of sign of both numerator and denominator; this ambiguity can be removed by requiring the ...
