2/7 - 1/13 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/7 minus 1/13 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/7 - 1/13 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/7 minus 1/13 = 19/91
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/7 minus 1/13 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/7 and fraction 1/13 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 13. 91 is the LCM of 7 and 13. Multiplying the LCM 91 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/7 x 91/91) - (1/13 x 91/91), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/7 is 26/91 and for 1/13 is 7/91. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 26/91 - 7/91, it becomes 19/91.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) - (1/13) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 minus 1/13 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/13

What to be found?
(2/7) - (1/13) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/7 and 1/13.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/13 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 2/7 and 1/13:
The LCM of 7 and 13 is 91.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/13 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 - 1/13
= [(2 x 91)/(7 x 91)] - [(1 x 91)/(13 x 91)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 26/91 - 7/91

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/91 x (26/1 - 7/1)
= 1/91 x (26 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/91 x 19
= 19/91
2/7 - 1/13 = 19/91

Hence,
2/7 minus 1/13 as a fraction is 19/91.
