2/3 - 1/67 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/3 minus 1/67 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/3 - 1/67 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/3 minus 1/67 = 131/201
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/3 minus 1/67 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/3 and fraction 1/67 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 67. 201 is the LCM of 3 and 67. Multiplying the LCM 201 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/3 x 201/201) - (1/67 x 201/201), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/3 is 134/201 and for 1/67 is 3/201. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 134/201 - 3/201, it becomes 131/201.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/67 from 2/3. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 2/3 minus 1/67.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/3) - (1/67) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 minus 1/67 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/67

What to be found?
(2/3) - (1/67) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/3 and 1/67.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/67 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/67 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 2/3 and 1/67:
The LCM of 3 and 67 is 201.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/67 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 - 1/67
= [(2 x 201)/(3 x 201)] - [(1 x 201)/(67 x 201)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 134/201 - 3/201

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/201 x (134/1 - 3/1)
= 1/201 x (134 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/201 x 131
= 131/201
2/3 - 1/67 = 131/201

Hence,
2/3 minus 1/67 as a fraction is 131/201.
