4/7 - 1/11 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 4/7 minus 1/11 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/7 - 1/11 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 4/7 minus 1/11 = 37/77
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 4/7 minus 1/11 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 4/7 and fraction 1/11 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 11. 77 is the LCM of 7 and 11. Multiplying the LCM 77 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/7 x 77/77) - (1/11 x 77/77), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 4/7 is 44/77 and for 1/11 is 7/77. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 44/77 - 7/77, it becomes 37/77.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/11 from 4/7. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 4/7 minus 1/11.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(4/7) - (1/11) using LCM Method:
What is 4/7 minus 1/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/7
Fraction B: 1/11

What to be found?
(4/7) - (1/11) = ?
Find what's the difference between 4/7 and 1/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/7 and 1/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/7 and 1/11 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 4/7 and 1/11:
The LCM of 7 and 11 is 77.

step 4 Write the fractions 4/7 and 1/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 4/7 - 1/11
= [(4 x 77)/(7 x 77)] - [(1 x 77)/(11 x 77)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 44/77 - 7/77

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/77 x (44/1 - 7/1)
= 1/77 x (44 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/77 x 37
= 37/77
4/7 - 1/11 = 37/77

Hence,
4/7 minus 1/11 as a fraction is 37/77.
