1/6 - 2/64 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/6 minus 2/64 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/6 - 2/64 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/6 minus 2/64 = 13/96
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/6 minus 2/64 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/6 and fraction 2/64 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 64. 192 is the LCM of 6 and 64. Multiplying the LCM 192 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/6 x 192/192) - (2/64 x 192/192), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/6 is 32/192 and for 2/64 is 6/192. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 32/192 - 6/192, it becomes 26/192.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/64 from 1/6. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/6 minus 2/64.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/6) - (2/64) using LCM Method:
What is 1/6 minus 2/64 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/64

What to be found?
(1/6) - (2/64) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/6 and 2/64.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 2/64 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 and 2/64 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 1/6 and 2/64:
The LCM of 6 and 64 is 192.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 2/64 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/6 - 2/64
= [(1 x 192)/(6 x 192)] - [(2 x 192)/(64 x 192)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 32/192 - 6/192

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/192 x (32/1 - 6/1)
= 1/192 x (32 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/192 x 26
= 26/192
= 13/96
1/6 - 2/64 = 13/96

Hence,
1/6 minus 2/64 as a fraction is 13/96.

1/6 - 2/64 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/64

What to be found?
(1/6)-(2/64) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/6 and 2/64.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 64), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 64) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 64) - (2 x 6)/(6 x 64)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (64 - 12)/384
= 52/384
= 13/96
