Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 5/9 from Whole Number 4

The given input are 4 and 5/9

4 can be written as 4/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 4/1 and 5/9

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 4/1 and 5/9

4/1 - 5/9

The LCM of 1 and 9 (denominators of the fractions) is 9

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9


= 4 x 9 - 5 x 1/9

= 36 - 5/9

= 31/9

Result: 31/9

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 31 ÷ 9 to get the Quotient and Remainder

31 divided by 9 using long division

The given Divisor = 9 and Dividend = 31

3
931
27
4

The Quotient is 3 and the Remainder is 4

We get the Quotient = 3 and Remainder = 4

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

Result: 3 4/9
