Learn how to find what is 7/3 minus 7/6 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 7/3 - 7/6 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 7/3 minus 7/6
Since both the fractions have the unequal denominators, you have to find the equivalent fractions for 7/3 and 7/6 having identical denominators before starting adding the fractions. Find the LCM of denominators, 6 is the LCM of 3 and 6. Multiply the LCM 6 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (7/3 x 6/6) - (7/6 x 6/6) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction subtraction expression becomes 7/6.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 7/6 from 7/3. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 7/3 minus 7/6.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
7/3-7/6 using LCM Method:
What is 7/3 minus 7/6 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/3
Fraction B: 7/6
What to be found?
7/3-7/6 = ?
Find what's the difference between 7/3 and 7/6.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/3 and 7/6 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/3 and 7/6 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 7/3 and 7/6:
The LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
step 4 Write the fractions 7/3 and 7/6 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=7/3-7/6
=(7 x 6)/(3 x 6)-(7 x 6)/(6 x 6)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=14/6-7/6
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/6 x (14/1-7/1)
=1/6 x (14 - 7)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/6 x 7
=7/6
7/3-7/6=7/6
Hence,
7/3 minus 7/6 equals to 7/6 in fraction.
7/3-7/6 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/3
Fraction B: 7/6
What to be found?
7/3-7/6 = ?
Find what's the difference between 7/3 and 7/6.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (7 x 6), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (7 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 6) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (7 x 6) - (7 x 3)/(3 x 6)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (42 - 21)/18
= 21/18
= 7/6
7/3-7/6 = 7/6
Hence,
7/3 minus 7/6 = 7/6
