Question

Subtract. Write the difference in the lowest terms.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3} \\ -\frac{2}{3} \\ \_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Answer 1

When subtracting two like fractions, subtract the numerators to get the numerator of the difference and use the same denominator for the denominator of the difference.

Given : $\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{3}$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2-2}{3} \\ =\frac{0}{3} \\ =0 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore the required difference in lowest term is $0$
