Question

subtract the following:-
1/6- 1/7
write in step by step ​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is 1/6 minus 1/7 as a fraction by subtraction using LCM method?

step 1 Address formula, input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

16&17

16-17= ?

step 2 For unequal denominators, find the LCM (least common multiple) for both denominators

The LCM for 6 and 7 is 42.

step 3 To have the common denominator, multiply the LCM with both numerator & denominator

=(1 x 42)(6 x 42)-(1 x 42)(7 x 42)

=742-642

=(7 - 6)42

step 4 Find difference between numerators and rewrite it in a single form.

=142

16-17=142

By using LCM method, 1/42 is the equivalent fraction by subtracting 1/7 from 1/6.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac { 1 } { 6 } - \frac { 1 } { 7 }$

$\frac{7}{42}-\frac{6}{42}\approx 0.023809524$

$\frac{7-6}{42}\approx 0.023809524$

$\frac{1}{42}\approx 0.023809524$
