7. Title 4.3 Subtraction, Equations, and Applications Slide 7Copyright 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000 Pearson Education, Inc. To subtract when denominators are different: a) Find the least common multiple of the denominators. That number is the least common denominator, LCD. b) Multiply by 1, using an appropriate notation, n/n, to express each fraction in an equivalent form that contains the LCD. c) Subtract the numerators, keeping the same denominator. d) Simplify, if possible.
