Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 1/2 from Whole Number 32

The given input are 32 and 1/2

32 can be written as 32/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 32/1 and 1/2

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 32/1 and 1/2

32/1 - 1/2

The LCM of 1 and 2 (denominators of the fractions) is 2

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2


= 32 x 2 - 1 x 1/2

= 64 - 1/2

= 63/2

Result: 63/2

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 63 ÷ 2 to get the Quotient and Remainder

63 divided by 2 using long division

The given Divisor = 2 and Dividend = 63

31
263
6
03
02
1

The Quotient is 31 and the Remainder is 1

We get the Quotient = 31 and Remainder = 1

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

Result: 31 1/2
