Ex: 2-(5/10) (or) 4-(6/22) (or) 5-(7/15)
Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 5/4 from Whole Number 5
The given input are 5 and 5/4
5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 5/1 and 5/4
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 5/4
5/1 - 5/4
The LCM of 1 and 4 (denominators of the fractions) is 4
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4
= 5 x 4 - 5 x 1/4
= 20 - 5/4
= 15/4
Result: 15/4
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 15 ÷ 4 to get the Quotient and Remainder
15 divided by 4 using long division
The given Divisor = 4 and Dividend = 15
3 | ||
4 | 1 | 5 |
1 | 2 | |
3 |
The Quotient is 3 and the Remainder is 3
We get the Quotient = 3 and Remainder = 3
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 3 3/4
