The given fractions are 7/3 and 19/3

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 7/3 and 19/3

7/3 - 19/3

If the L.C.M of the denominators of the both fractions 7/3 and 19/3 are same, the numerators are subtracted directly taking the similar integer as the denominator

= 7 - 19/3

= -12/3

= -4/1

Result: -4/1

= -4
