1/3 - 2/34 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/3 minus 2/34 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/3 - 2/34 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/3 minus 2/34 = 14/51
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/3 minus 2/34 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/3 and fraction 2/34 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 34. 102 is the LCM of 3 and 34. Multiplying the LCM 102 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/3 x 102/102) - (2/34 x 102/102), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/3 is 34/102 and for 2/34 is 6/102. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 34/102 - 6/102, it becomes 28/102.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/34 from 1/3. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/3 minus 2/34.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) - (2/34) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 minus 2/34 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/34

What to be found?
(1/3) - (2/34) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/3 and 2/34.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/34 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/34 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 2/34:
The LCM of 3 and 34 is 102.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/34 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 - 2/34
= [(1 x 102)/(3 x 102)] - [(2 x 102)/(34 x 102)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 34/102 - 6/102

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/102 x (34/1 - 6/1)
= 1/102 x (34 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/102 x 28
= 28/102
= 14/51
1/3 - 2/34 = 14/51

Hence,
1/3 minus 2/34 as a fraction is 14/51.
