# fraction subtraction calculator

Subtraction fraction is really a good tool to calculate fractions subtraction and that is really great. It will help you calculate fractions subtract any two fraction and misted numbers.

#### Input

$$n_1=1$$ $$n_2=2$$ $$d_1=3$$ $$d_2=3$$

#### Solution

$$\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{-1}{3}$$

(we just subtract the numerators, since the denominators are equal).

## What is subtraction fractions calculator?

Subtraction fraction is really a good tool to calculate fractions subtraction and that is really great. It will help you calculate fractions subtract any two fraction and misted numbers. Even this tool will show you all the working out along the way. In this tool, you don’t need to worry about the formula and you don’t need to worry about how to use it and how our tool is going to solve it. We have already built our tool in a way using all the formula to subtract the fraction with the help of our tool.

## Subtract Fractions Calculator - the way to use it

If you would like to subtract one fraction from another, please use the calculator below.

To enter a fraction, you've got to enter the numerator followed by '/' followed by the denominator. E.g. 4/5 or 23/7

To enter a mixed fraction, first, type the entire number followed by space followed by the numerator followed by '/' followed by the denominator. E.g. 3 1/4 (3 and a quarter).

If you would like help to seek out the way to subtract fractions, there's more help further down this page!

The bottom numbers are different. See how the slices are different sizes? we'd like to form them an equivalent before we will continue because we will not subtract them like this:

12 − 16 =?

1/3 1/6 pie huh?

To make rock bottom numbers an equivalent, multiply the highest and bottom of the primary fraction (1/2) by 3 like this:

× 3

right over arrow

12 = 36

right under arrow

× 3

And now our question seems like this:

36 − 16

2/6 1/6

The bottom numbers (the denominators) are equivalent, so we will attend step 2.

2. Subtract the highest numbers and put the solution over an equivalent denominator:

36 − 16 = 3 − 16 = 26

In picture form it's like this:

36 − 16 = 26

### How to subtract fractions with different denominators

Find the smallest amount common denominator

Find the smallest amount common denominator (LCD) of the fractions. The LCD is that the denominators’ least integer.

Step 2: Find the equivalent fraction

Find the equivalent fraction of every fraction, in order that all of them have the LCD because of the denominator.

Step 3: Subtract the new numerators

Subtract the new numerators and write the LCD because of the denominator.

Step 4: Simplify if necessary

Reduce the difference to its lowest terms.

### How to use this calculator subtract fraction

Using this tool is really easy and really reliable and this tool is totally free and a web bases tool where you don’t need to register and you don’t have to provide any emails.

As you know this tool is online in that case anybody can use it from all around the whole world.

Now, if you are on our website then you can see that our website tool layout.

We have 4 textboxes where we can enter the value in there.

So when you end up filling value in it then you have to simply click on the calculate button to subtract the fraction and the button is given below the four boxes.

Now after clicking the calculate button you will get the answer.

So this is how this tool works.
