1/6 - 2/93 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/6 minus 2/93 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/6 - 2/93 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/6 minus 2/93 = 9/62
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/6 minus 2/93 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/6 and fraction 2/93 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 93. 186 is the LCM of 6 and 93. Multiplying the LCM 186 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/6 x 186/186) - (2/93 x 186/186), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/6 is 31/186 and for 2/93 is 4/186. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 31/186 - 4/186, it becomes 27/186.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/6) - (2/93) using LCM Method:
What is 1/6 minus 2/93 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/93

What to be found?
(1/6) - (2/93) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/6 and 2/93.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 2/93 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 and 2/93 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 2/93:
The LCM of 6 and 93 is 186.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 2/93 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/6 - 2/93
= [(1 x 186)/(6 x 186)] - [(2 x 186)/(93 x 186)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 31/186 - 4/186

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/186 x (31/1 - 4/1)
= 1/186 x (31 - 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/186 x 27
= 27/186
= 9/62
1/6 - 2/93 = 9/62

Hence,
1/6 minus 2/93 as a fraction is 9/62.
