2/6 - 1/75 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 minus 1/75 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 - 1/75 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 minus 1/75 = 8/25
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 minus 1/75 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/75 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 75. 150 is the LCM of 6 and 75. Multiplying the LCM 150 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 150/150) - (1/75 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 1/75 is 2/150. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 50/150 - 2/150, it becomes 48/150.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/75) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/75

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/75) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/75 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 1/75:
The LCM of 6 and 75 is 150.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/75 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/75
= [(2 x 150)/(6 x 150)] - [(1 x 150)/(75 x 150)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 50/150 - 2/150

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/150 x (50/1 - 2/1)
= 1/150 x (50 - 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/150 x 48
= 48/150
= 8/25
2/6 - 1/75 = 8/25

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/75 as a fraction is 8/25.
