Solve the Fraction Subtraction: 1/4 - 1/6

Solve the following equation:

$$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}=$

Let's first identify the lowest common denominator between 4 and 6.

In order to determine the lowest common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 4 and 6.

In this case, the common denominator is 12.

Let's proceed to multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 12.

We'll multiply the first fraction by 3

We'll multiply the second fraction by 2

$\frac{1\times3}{4\times3}-\frac{1\times2}{6\times2}=\frac{3}{12}-\frac{2}{12}$

Now let's subtract:

$\frac{3-2}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$
