2/3 - 1/80 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/3 minus 1/80 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/3 - 1/80 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/3 minus 1/80 = 157/240
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/3 minus 1/80 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/3 and fraction 1/80 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 80. 240 is the LCM of 3 and 80. Multiplying the LCM 240 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/3 x 240/240) - (1/80 x 240/240), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/3 is 160/240 and for 1/80 is 3/240. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 160/240 - 3/240, it becomes 157/240.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/80 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 1/80.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/3) - (1/80) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 minus 1/80 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/80

What to be found?
(2/3) - (1/80) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/3 and 1/80.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/80 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/80 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 1/80:
The LCM of 3 and 80 is 240.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/80 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 - 1/80
= [(2 x 240)/(3 x 240)] - [(1 x 240)/(80 x 240)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 160/240 - 3/240

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/240 x (160/1 - 3/1)
= 1/240 x (160 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/240 x 157
= 157/240
2/3 - 1/80 = 157/240

Hence,
2/3 minus 1/80 as a fraction is 157/240.
