Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 3/9 from Whole Number 2

The given input are 2 and 3/9

2 can be written as 2/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 2/1 and 3/9

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 2/1 and 3/9

2/1 - 3/9

The LCM of 1 and 9 (denominators of the fractions) is 9

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9


= 2 x 9 - 3 x 1/9

= 18 - 3/9

= 15/9

= 5/3

Result: 5/3

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 5 ÷ 3 to get the Quotient and Remainder

5 divided by 3 using long division

The given Divisor = 3 and Dividend = 5

1
35
3
2

The Quotient is 1 and the Remainder is 2

We get the Quotient = 1 and Remainder = 2

∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator

Result: 1 2/3
