Answer

(2×11×4)(18×77×15)=(24)(126105)=(12)(65)\Big(\dfrac{2 \times 1}{1 \times 4}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{-18 \times -7}{7 \times 15}\Big) \\[1em] =\Big(\dfrac{2}{4}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{126}{105}\Big) \\[1em] =\Big(\dfrac{1}{2}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{6}{5}\Big) \\[1em] LCM of 2 and 5 is 2 x 5 = 10 =(1×52×5)(6×25×2)=(510)(1210)=(51210)=(710)=\Big(\dfrac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{6 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\Big)\\[1em] =\Big(\dfrac{5}{10}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{12}{10}\Big)\\[1em] =\Big(\dfrac{5 - 12}{10}\Big)\\[1em] =\Big(\dfrac{-7}{10}\Big)

Hence, (2×14)(187×715)=(710)\Big(2 \times \dfrac{1}{4}\Big) - \Big(\dfrac{-18}{7} \times \dfrac{-7}{15}\Big) = \Big(\dfrac{-7}{10}\Big)
