Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 3/40 from Whole Number 5
The given input are 5 and 3/40
5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 5/1 and 3/40
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 3/40
5/1 - 3/40
The LCM of 1 and 40 (denominators of the fractions) is 40
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40
= 5 x 40 - 3 x 1/40
= 200 - 3/40
= 197/40
Result: 197/40
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 197 ÷ 40 to get the Quotient and Remainder
197 divided by 40 using long division
The given Divisor = 40 and Dividend = 197
| 4 | ||||
| 4 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 |
| 1 | 6 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 7 |
The Quotient is 4 and the Remainder is 37
We get the Quotient = 4 and Remainder = 37
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 4 37/40
