Subtracting fractions is calculated by finding the common
`" "`
denominator ,applying some operations to have equal fractions
`" "`
with same denominator then subtracting.
`" "`
The common denominator of `"6"and"3" "`is the least common
`" "`
multiple of these numbers.
`" "`
`L.C.M(6,3)=6 " "`because `6" "`is a multiple of `" 3`
`" "`
`8/3-5/6`
`" "`
`=(8xx2)/(3xx2)-5/6`
