11/25 subtracted by 2/2 in Fraction Form

The result of 11/25 subtracted by 2/2 is: -14/25

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We need to subtract the fraction \(\frac22\) from \(\frac1125\).

Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The LCM of 25 and 2 is 50.

Step 3: Convert Fractions to Equivalent Fractions

Convert \(\frac1125\) to \(\frac{22}50\)
Convert \(\frac22\) to \(\frac{50}50\)

Step 4: Subtract the Numerators

Subtract the numerators: 22 - 50 = -28

Step 5: Simplify the Fraction

We can simplify \(\frac-2850\) to its lowest form.
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of -28 and 50 is 2.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD, we get \(\frac-1425\).

Final Answer

The result of 11/25 subtracted by 2/2 is:

\[ \frac{11}{25} - \frac{2}{2} = \frac-1425 \]

How to Subtract Fractions

To subtract fractions, you need to ensure they have a common denominator. Then subtract the numerators:

\( \frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad - bc}{bd} \) (when denominators are different)

Or simply \( \frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{b} = \frac{a - c}{b} \) (when denominators are the same)

Why Simplify Fractions?

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to work with and understand. A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
