2/6 - 1/25 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 minus 1/25 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 - 1/25 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 minus 1/25 = 22/75
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 minus 1/25 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/25 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 25. 150 is the LCM of 6 and 25. Multiplying the LCM 150 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 150/150) - (1/25 x 150/150), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 50/150 and for 1/25 is 6/150. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 50/150 - 6/150, it becomes 44/150.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/25 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 1/25.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/25) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/25 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/25

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/25) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/25.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/25 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/25 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 1/25:
The LCM of 6 and 25 is 150.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/25 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/25
= [(2 x 150)/(6 x 150)] - [(1 x 150)/(25 x 150)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 50/150 - 6/150

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/150 x (50/1 - 6/1)
= 1/150 x (50 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/150 x 44
= 44/150
= 22/75
2/6 - 1/25 = 22/75

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/25 as a fraction is 22/75.
