2/4 - 1/70 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 minus 1/70 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 - 1/70 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 minus 1/70 = 17/35
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 minus 1/70 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/70 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 70. 140 is the LCM of 4 and 70. Multiplying the LCM 140 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 140/140) - (1/70 x 140/140), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 70/140 and for 1/70 is 2/140. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 70/140 - 2/140, it becomes 68/140.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/70 from 2/4. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 2/4 minus 1/70.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) - (1/70) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 minus 1/70 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/70

What to be found?
(2/4) - (1/70) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/4 and 1/70.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/70 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/70 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 2/4 and 1/70:
The LCM of 4 and 70 is 140.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/70 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 - 1/70
= [(2 x 140)/(4 x 140)] - [(1 x 140)/(70 x 140)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 70/140 - 2/140

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/140 x (70/1 - 2/1)
= 1/140 x (70 - 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/140 x 68
= 68/140
= 17/35
2/4 - 1/70 = 17/35

Hence,
2/4 minus 1/70 as a fraction is 17/35.
