How to Subtract Fractions with Like Denominators: Example #1

How Do You Subtract Fractions in 3 Easy Steps?

Step One: Identify whether the denominators are the same (like) or different (unlike).

Step Two: If the example involves like denominators, move onto Step Three. If they are unlike denominators, find a common denominator.

Step Three: Subtract the numerators and find the difference.

Now that you know the steps, let’s apply them to solving this first example:

3/5 - 1/5 = ?

Step One: Identify whether the denominators are the same (like) or different (unlike).

The fractions in this example have like denominators. They are both 5.

Step Two: If the example involves like denominators, move onto Step Three. If they are unlike denominators, find a common denominator.

Since the denominators are the same, you can skip ahead to the next step.

Step Three: Subtract the numerators and find the difference.

To complete this fraction subtraction problem, simply subtract the numerators and express the result as follows:

3/5 - 1/5 = (3-1)/5 = 2/5

Since 1/5 can not be reduced, you can conclude…

Final Answer: 2/5
