Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 7/4 from Whole Number 17
The given input are 17 and 7/4
17 can be written as 17/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 17/1 and 7/4
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 17/1 and 7/4
17/1 - 7/4
The LCM of 1 and 4 (denominators of the fractions) is 4
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4
= 17 x 4 - 7 x 1/4
= 68 - 7/4
= 61/4
Result: 61/4
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 61 ÷ 4 to get the Quotient and Remainder
61 divided by 4 using long division
The given Divisor = 4 and Dividend = 61
| 1 | 5 | |
| 4 | 6 | 1 |
| 4 | ||
| 2 | 1 | |
| 2 | 0 | |
| 1 |
The Quotient is 15 and the Remainder is 1
We get the Quotient = 15 and Remainder = 1
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 15 1/4
