1/3-1/11 using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 minus 1/11 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 1/11
What to be found?
1/3-1/11 = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/3 and 1/11.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 1/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 1/11 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 1/3 and 1/11:
The LCM of 3 and 11 is 33.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 1/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/3-1/11
=(1 x 33)/(3 x 33)-(1 x 33)/(11 x 33)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=11/33-3/33
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/33 x (11/1-3/1)
=1/33 x (11 - 3)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/33 x 8
=8/33
1/3-1/11=8/33
Hence,
1/3 minus 1/11 equals to 8/33 in fraction.
