For fractions with same denominator:

If the denominators of the fractions are the same, then subtract the numerators directly, and simplify the resulting fraction, if required.

For fractions with different denominators:

Step 1: Take the LCM of the denominator.

Step 2: Convert the denominators to the LCM Value by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Step 3: Once the denominator becomes equal, subtract the numerator.

Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction, if necessary.
