1/1 - 1/52 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/1 minus 1/52 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/1 - 1/52 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/1 minus 1/52 = 51/52
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/1 minus 1/52 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/1 and fraction 1/52 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 52. 52 is the LCM of 1 and 52. Multiplying the LCM 52 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/1 x 52/52) - (1/52 x 52/52), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/1 is 52/52 and for 1/52 is 1/52. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 52/52 - 1/52, it becomes 51/52.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/52 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 1/52.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/1) - (1/52) using LCM Method:
What is 1/1 minus 1/52 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/52

What to be found?
(1/1) - (1/52) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/1 and 1/52.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/1 and 1/52 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/1 and 1/52 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 1/52:
The LCM of 1 and 52 is 52.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/1 and 1/52 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/1 - 1/52
= [(1 x 52)/(1 x 52)] - [(1 x 52)/(52 x 52)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 52/52 - 1/52

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/52 x (52/1 - 1/1)
= 1/52 x (52 - 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/52 x 51
= 51/52
1/1 - 1/52 = 51/52

Hence,
1/1 minus 1/52 as a fraction is 51/52.

1/1 - 1/52 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/52

What to be found?
(1/1)-(1/52) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/1 and 1/52.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 52), 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 52) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 52) - (1 x 1)/(1 x 52)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (52 - 1)/52
