  1. Method 1: By Listing MultiplesList out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.

    2: 2 , 4

    4: 4
    Therefore, the LCD is 4

    Method 2: By Prime FactorsList all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
    Therefore, the LCD is 2 x 2 = 4

    2. Make the denominators the same as the LCD

    \(\frac{1 x 2}{2 x 2} - \frac{3}{4}\)

    3.     Simplify. Denominators are now the same.

    \(\frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4}\)

    4. Join the denominators

    \(\frac{2-3}{4}\)

    5. Simplify

    \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

    Done! :)     Decimal Form: -0.25
