Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 5/15 from Whole Number 3
The given input are 3 and 5/15
3 can be written as 3/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 3/1 and 5/15
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 3/1 and 5/15
3/1 - 5/15
The LCM of 1 and 15 (denominators of the fractions) is 15
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15
= 3 x 15 - 5 x 1/15
= 45 - 5/15
= 40/15
= 8/3
Result: 8/3
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 8 ÷ 3 to get the Quotient and Remainder
8 divided by 3 using long division
The given Divisor = 3 and Dividend = 8
2 | |
3 | 8 |
6 | |
2 |
The Quotient is 2 and the Remainder is 2
We get the Quotient = 2 and Remainder = 2
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 2 2/3
