Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 6/40 from Whole Number 3

The given input are 3 and 6/40

3 can be written as 3/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 3/1 and 6/40

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 3/1 and 6/40

3/1 - 6/40

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

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40


= 3 x 40 - 6 x 1/40

= 120 - 6/40

= 114/40

= 57/20

Result: 57/20

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 57 ÷ 20 to get the Quotient and Remainder

57 divided by 20 using long division

The given Divisor = 20 and Dividend = 57

2
2057
40
17

The Quotient is 2 and the Remainder is 17

We get the Quotient = 2 and Remainder = 17

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

Result: 2 17/20
