Subtracting Fractions: How to Make Denominators the Same

The video tutorial explains how to subtract fractions, emphasizing the similarity to adding fractions. It covers cases with the same and different denominators, demonstrating how to make denominators equal using multiplication. The tutorial also addresses negative results when subtracting larger fractions and uses a number line for visualization. A complex example involving the lowest common multiple (LCM) is provided, followed by a recap of key points.
