Subtracting Fractions With Whole Numbers
As we have subtract two fractions in the same way we can easily subtract a fraction with whole numbers or vice-versa. Mathematically whole number is noting but a fraction with denominator 1 and subtracting them is easily don using steps added above in the article.
For example, Subtract 7 from 19/2
= 19/2 – 7
= 19/2 – 7/1
= 19/2 – 14/2
= (19 – 14)/2
= 5/2
Subtracting Fractions
To subtract fractions, first check and find the common denominator, then subtract the numerators and simply the resultant fraction if possible. Subtracting fractions involves making the denominators (bottom number) same by finding the lowest common multiple of them and subtracting the numerators (top number) and finally simplifying the fraction if possible.
In this article, we will learn about, subtracting fractions, examples, and others in detail.
