10 - 1/18 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 10 minus 1/18 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 10 - 1/18 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 10 minus 1/18 = 179/18
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 10 minus 1/18 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 10 and fraction 1/18 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 18. 18 is the LCM of 1 and 18. Multiplying the LCM 18 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (10 x 18/18) - (1/18 x 18/18), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 10 is 180/18 and for 1/18 is 1/18. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 180/18 - 1/18, it becomes 179/18.

CALCULATION: 10 - 1/18 as a fraction

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/18 from 10. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 10 minus 1/18.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(10) - (1/18) using LCM Method:
What is 10 minus 1/18 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/1
Fraction B: 1/18

What to be found?
(10) - (1/18) = ?
Find what's the difference between 10 and 1/18.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 10 and 1/18 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 10 and 1/18 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 10 and 1/18:
The LCM of 1 and 18 is 18.

step 4 Write the fractions 10 and 1/18 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 10 - 1/18
= [(10 x 18)/(1 x 18)] - [(1 x 18)/(18 x 18)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 180/18 - 1/18

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/18 x (180/1 - 1/1)
= 1/18 x (180 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/18 x 179
= 179/18
10 - 1/18 = 179/18

Hence,
10 minus 1/18 as a fraction is 179/18.
