The process of subtracting fractions requires two specific strategies: identifying a shared denominator and subsequently subtracting the numerators. The denominator of the outcome is the shared denominator, and the numerator is derived from the difference between the numerators of the subtracted fractions. It's always crucial to reduce the resulting fraction to its simplest form, if feasible.
