1/3 - 2/76 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/3 minus 2/76 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/3 - 2/76 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/3 minus 2/76 = 35/114
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/3 minus 2/76 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/3 and fraction 2/76 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 76. 228 is the LCM of 3 and 76. Multiplying the LCM 228 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/3 x 228/228) - (2/76 x 228/228), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/3 is 76/228 and for 2/76 is 6/228. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 76/228 - 6/228, it becomes 70/228.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/76 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 2/76.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) - (2/76) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 minus 2/76 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/76

What to be found?
(1/3) - (2/76) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/3 and 2/76.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/76 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/76 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 2/76:
The LCM of 3 and 76 is 228.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/76 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 - 2/76
= [(1 x 228)/(3 x 228)] - [(2 x 228)/(76 x 228)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 76/228 - 6/228

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/228 x (76/1 - 6/1)
= 1/228 x (76 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/228 x 70
= 70/228
= 35/114
1/3 - 2/76 = 35/114

Hence,
1/3 minus 2/76 as a fraction is 35/114.
