1/3 - 2/75 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/3 minus 2/75 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/3 - 2/75 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/3 minus 2/75 = 23/75
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/3 minus 2/75 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/3 and fraction 2/75 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 75. 75 is the LCM of 3 and 75. Multiplying the LCM 75 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/3 x 75/75) - (2/75 x 75/75), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/3 is 25/75 and for 2/75 is 2/75. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 25/75 - 2/75, it becomes 23/75.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) - (2/75) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 minus 2/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/75

What to be found?
(1/3) - (2/75) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/3 and 2/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/75 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 2/75:
The LCM of 3 and 75 is 75.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/75 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 - 2/75
= [(1 x 75)/(3 x 75)] - [(2 x 75)/(75 x 75)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 25/75 - 2/75

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/75 x (25/1 - 2/1)
= 1/75 x (25 - 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/75 x 23
= 23/75
1/3 - 2/75 = 23/75

Hence,
1/3 minus 2/75 as a fraction is 23/75.
