1/7 - 2/58 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/7 minus 2/58 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/7 - 2/58 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/7 minus 2/58 = 22/203
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/7 minus 2/58 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/7 and fraction 2/58 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 58. 406 is the LCM of 7 and 58. Multiplying the LCM 406 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/7 x 406/406) - (2/58 x 406/406), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/7 is 58/406 and for 2/58 is 14/406. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 58/406 - 14/406, it becomes 44/406.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/58 from 1/7. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/7 minus 2/58.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/7) - (2/58) using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 minus 2/58 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/58

What to be found?
(1/7) - (2/58) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/7 and 2/58.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 2/58 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 2/58 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 1/7 and 2/58:
The LCM of 7 and 58 is 406.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 2/58 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/7 - 2/58
= [(1 x 406)/(7 x 406)] - [(2 x 406)/(58 x 406)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/406 - 14/406

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/406 x (58/1 - 14/1)
= 1/406 x (58 - 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/406 x 44
= 44/406
= 22/203
1/7 - 2/58 = 22/203

Hence,
1/7 minus 2/58 as a fraction is 22/203.
