Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 6/40 from Whole Number 2

The given input are 2 and 6/40

2 can be written as 2/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 2/1 and 6/40

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 2/1 and 6/40

2/1 - 6/40

The LCM of 1 and 40 (denominators of the fractions) is 40

2037
20
17

The Quotient is 1 and the Remainder is 17

We get the Quotient = 1 and Remainder = 17

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

Result: 1 17/20
