Subtracting Fraction 1/8 from Whole Number 3
Subtract Fraction 1/8 from Whole Number 3 and get the result i.e. 2 7/8 taking help of Number Minus Fraction Calculator along with detailed work.
Ex: 2-(5/10) (or) 4-(6/22) (or) 5-(7/15)
Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 1/8 from Whole Number 3
The given input are 3 and 1/8
3 can be written as 3/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 3/1 and 1/8
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 3/1 and 1/8
3/1 - 1/8
The LCM of 1 and 8 (denominators of the fractions) is 8
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8
= 3 x 8 - 1 x 1/8
= 24 - 1/8
= 23/8
Result: 23/8
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 23 ÷ 8 to get the Quotient and Remainder
23 divided by 8 using long division
The given Divisor = 8 and Dividend = 23
| 2 | ||
| 8 | 2 | 3 |
| 1 | 6 | |
| 7 |
The Quotient is 2 and the Remainder is 7
We get the Quotient = 2 and Remainder = 7
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 2 7/8
