2/6 - 1/22 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 minus 1/22 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 - 1/22 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 minus 1/22 = 19/66
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 minus 1/22 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/22 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 22. 66 is the LCM of 6 and 22. Multiplying the LCM 66 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 66/66) - (1/22 x 66/66), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 22/66 and for 1/22 is 3/66. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 22/66 - 3/66, it becomes 19/66.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/22 from 2/6. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 2/6 minus 1/22.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/22) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/22 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/22

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/22) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/22.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/22 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/22 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 2/6 and 1/22:
The LCM of 6 and 22 is 66.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/22 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/22
= [(2 x 66)/(6 x 66)] - [(1 x 66)/(22 x 66)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/66 - 3/66

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/66 x (22/1 - 3/1)
= 1/66 x (22 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/66 x 19
= 19/66
2/6 - 1/22 = 19/66

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/22 as a fraction is 19/66.
