1/1 - 1/23 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/1 minus 1/23 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/1 - 1/23 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/1 minus 1/23 = 22/23
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/1 minus 1/23 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/1 and fraction 1/23 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 23. 23 is the LCM of 1 and 23. Multiplying the LCM 23 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/1 x 23/23) - (1/23 x 23/23), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/1 is 23/23 and for 1/23 is 1/23. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 23/23 - 1/23, it becomes 22/23.

Pie Chart Representation: 1/1 - 1/23 = 22/23

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/23 from 1/1. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/1 minus 1/23.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/1) - (1/23) using LCM Method:
What is 1/1 minus 1/23 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/23

What to be found?
(1/1) - (1/23) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/1 and 1/23.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/1 and 1/23 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/1 and 1/23 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 1/1 and 1/23:
The LCM of 1 and 23 is 23.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/1 and 1/23 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/1 - 1/23
= [(1 x 23)/(1 x 23)] - [(1 x 23)/(23 x 23)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 23/23 - 1/23

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/23 x (23/1 - 1/1)
= 1/23 x (23 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/23 x 22
= 22/23
1/1 - 1/23 = 22/23

Hence,
1/1 minus 1/23 as a fraction is 22/23.

1/1 - 1/23 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/23

What to be found?
(1/1)-(1/23) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/1 and 1/23.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 23), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 1), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (1 x 23) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 23) - (1 x 1)/(1 x 23)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (23 - 1)/23
1/1 - 1/23 = 22/23

Hence,
1/1 minus 1/23 in fraction is 22/23
