Learn how to find what is 5/6 minus 7/10 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 5/6 - 7/10 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 5/6 minus 7/10
Since both the fractions have the unequal denominators, you have to find the equivalent fractions for 5/6 and 7/10 having identical denominators before starting adding the fractions. Find the LCM of denominators, 30 is the LCM of 6 and 10. Multiply the LCM 30 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (5/6 x 30/30) - (7/10 x 30/30) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction subtraction expression becomes 4/30.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 7/10 from 5/6. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 5/6 minus 7/10.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
5/6-7/10 using LCM Method:
What is 5/6 minus 7/10 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 7/10
What to be found?
5/6-7/10 = ?
Find what's the difference between 5/6 and 7/10.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/6 and 7/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/6 and 7/10 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 5/6 and 7/10:
The LCM of 6 and 10 is 30.
step 4 Write the fractions 5/6 and 7/10 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=5/6-7/10
=(5 x 30)/(6 x 30)-(7 x 30)/(10 x 30)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=25/30-21/30
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/30 x (25/1-21/1)
=1/30 x (25 - 21)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/30 x 4
= 4/30
=2/15
5/6-7/10=2/15
Hence,
5/6 minus 7/10 equals to 2/15 in fraction.
5/6-7/10 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 7/10
What to be found?
5/6-7/10 = ?
Find what's the difference between 5/6 and 7/10.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (5 x 10), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (7 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 10) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (5 x 10) - (7 x 6)/(6 x 10)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (50 - 42)/60
= 8/60
= 2/15
5/6-7/10 = 2/15
Hence,
5/6 minus 7/10 = 2/15
