The result of 3/55 subtracted by 3/6 is: -49/110

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We need to subtract the fraction \(\frac36\) from \(\frac355\).

Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The LCM of 55 and 6 is 330.

Step 3: Convert Fractions to Equivalent Fractions

Convert \(\frac355\) to \(\frac{18}330\)
Convert \(\frac36\) to \(\frac{165}330\)

Step 4: Subtract the Numerators

Subtract the numerators: 18 - 165 = -147

Step 5: Simplify the Fraction

We can simplify \(\frac-147330\) to its lowest form.
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of -147 and 330 is 3.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD, we get \(\frac-49110\).

Final Answer

The result of 3/55 subtracted by 3/6 is:

\[ \frac{3}{55} - \frac{3}{6} = \frac-49110 \]

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).
