Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 3/2 from Whole Number 5

The given input are 5 and 3/2

5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 5/1 and 3/2

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 3/2

5/1 - 3/2

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


= 5 x 2 - 3 x 1/2

= 10 - 3/2

= 7/2

Result: 7/2

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 7 ÷ 2 to get the Quotient and Remainder

7 divided by 2 using long division

The given Divisor = 2 and Dividend = 7

3
27
6
1

The Quotient is 3 and the Remainder is 1

We get the Quotient = 3 and Remainder = 1

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

Result: 3 1/2
