Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 1/20 from Whole Number 5

The given input are 5 and 1/20

5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 5/1 and 1/20

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 1/20

5/1 - 1/20

The LCM of 1 and 20 (denominators of the fractions) is 20

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20


= 5 x 20 - 1 x 1/20

= 100 - 1/20

= 99/20

Result: 99/20

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 99 ÷ 20 to get the Quotient and Remainder

99 divided by 20 using long division

The given Divisor = 20 and Dividend = 99

4
2099
80
19

The Quotient is 4 and the Remainder is 19

We get the Quotient = 4 and Remainder = 19

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

Result: 4 19/20
