Ex: 2-(5/10) (or) 4-(6/22) (or) 5-(7/15)
Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 9/8 from Whole Number 5
The given input are 5 and 9/8
5 can be written as 5/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 5/1 and 9/8
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 5/1 and 9/8
5/1 - 9/8
The LCM of 1 and 8 (denominators of the fractions) is 8
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8
= 5 x 8 - 9 x 1/8
= 40 - 9/8
= 31/8
Result: 31/8
In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 31 ÷ 8 to get the Quotient and Remainder
31 divided by 8 using long division
The given Divisor = 8 and Dividend = 31
| 3 | ||
| 8 | 3 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 | |
| 7 |
The Quotient is 3 and the Remainder is 7
We get the Quotient = 3 and Remainder = 7
∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator
Result: 3 7/8
