Subtracting Fraction 5/2 from Whole Number 6
Subtract Fraction 5/2 from Whole Number 6 and get the result i.e. 3 1/2 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 5/2 from Whole Number 6
The given input are 6 and 5/2
6 can be written as 6/1 in fraction format
The given fractions are 6/1 and 5/2
Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 6/1 and 5/2
6/1 - 5/2
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
= 6 x 2 - 5 x 1/2
= 12 - 5/2
= 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 | |
2 | 7 |
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
