1/4 - 2/75 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/4 minus 2/75 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/4 - 2/75 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/4 minus 2/75 = 67/300
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/4 minus 2/75 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/4 and fraction 2/75 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 75. 300 is the LCM of 4 and 75. Multiplying the LCM 300 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/4 x 300/300) - (2/75 x 300/300), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/4 is 75/300 and for 2/75 is 8/300. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 75/300 - 8/300, it becomes 67/300.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/75 from 1/4. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/4 minus 2/75.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) - (2/75) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 minus 2/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/75

What to be found?
(1/4) - (2/75) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/4 and 2/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 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 1/4 and 2/75:
The LCM of 4 and 75 is 300.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/75 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 - 2/75
= [(1 x 300)/(4 x 300)] - [(2 x 300)/(75 x 300)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 75/300 - 8/300

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/300 x (75/1 - 8/1)
= 1/300 x (75 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/300 x 67
= 67/300
1/4 - 2/75 = 67/300

Hence,
1/4 minus 2/75 as a fraction is 67/300.
