Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 7/2 from Whole Number 6

The given input are 6 and 7/2

6 can be written as 6/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 6/1 and 7/2

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 6/1 and 7/2

6/1 - 7/2

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 - 7 x 1/2

= 12 - 7/2

= 5/2

Result: 5/2

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 5 ÷ 2 to get the Quotient and Remainder

5 divided by 2 using long division

The given Divisor = 2 and Dividend = 5

2
25
4
1

The Quotient is 2 and the Remainder is 1

We get the Quotient = 2 and Remainder = 1

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

Result: 2 1/2
