Subtracting Fraction 1/3 from Whole Number 5
Subtract Fraction 1/3 from Whole Number 5 and get the result i.e. 4 2/3 taking help of Number Minus Fraction Calculator along with detailed work.
Ex: 2-(5/10) (or) 4-(6/22) (or) 5-(7/15)
Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 1/3 from Whole Number 5
The given input are 5 and 1/3
5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 5/1 and 1/3
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 1/3
5/1 - 1/3
The LCM of 1 and 3 (denominators of the fractions) is 3
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3
= 5 x 3 - 1 x 1/3
= 15 - 1/3
= 14/3
Result: 14/3
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 14 ÷ 3 to get the Quotient and Remainder
14 divided by 3 using long division
The given Divisor = 3 and Dividend = 14
| 4 | ||
| 3 | 1 | 4 |
| 1 | 2 | |
| 2 |
The Quotient is 4 and the Remainder is 2
We get the Quotient = 4 and Remainder = 2
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 4 2/3
