Step 1
Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to
convert the mixed f raction 21139
323 into an improper f raction, we will need to
multiply the denominator 323 by 21 and add the numerator 139 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:
21139
323 =
21 × 323 + 139
323 =
6922
323
Similarly, the mixed f raction 610
17 can be converted into an improper f raction
as:
610
17 =
6 × 17 + 10
17 =
112
17
Step 2
We now need to subtract the f ollowing unlike f ractions: 6922
323 and
112
17 .
Bef ore we subtract, let us f irst convert them to like f ractions.
Step 3
Let us f ind the LCM of the denominators 323 and 17.The LCM of 323 and 17 is 323.
Step 4
What should we multiply with the denominator 323 to get the LCM 323?
It is 323
323 = 1.
So, the f irst f raction can be written as:
6922 × 1
323 × 1 =
6922
323
Step 5
Similarly, the second f raction can be written as:
112 × 19
17 × 19 =
2128
323
Step 6
Let us now subtract the two like f ractions:
6922
323 -
2128

Step 1
Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to
convert the mixed f raction 655
234 into an improper f raction, we will need to
multiply the denominator 234 by 6 and add the numerator 55 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:
655
234 =
6 × 234 + 55
234 =
1459
234
Similarly, the mixed f raction 27
18 can be converted into an improper f raction
as:
27
18 =
2 × 18 + 7
18 =
43
18
Step 2
We now need to subtract the f ollowing unlike f ractions: 1459
234 and

Step 3
Let us f ind the LCM of the denominators 234 and 18.The LCM of 234 and 18 is 234.
Step 4
What should we multiply with the denominator 234 to get the LCM 234?
It is 234
234 = 1.
So, the f irst f raction can be written as:
1459 × 1
234 × 1 =
1459
234
Step 5
Similarly, the second f raction can be written as:
43 × 13
18 × 13 =

323 =
8503
323
Similarly, the mixed f raction 410
17 can be converted into an improper f raction
as:
410
17 =
4 × 17 + 10

Step 1
Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to
convert the mixed f raction 1029
31 into an improper f raction, we will need to
multiply the denominator 31 by 10 and add the numerator 29 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:
1029
31 =
10 × 31 + 29
31 =
339
31
Similarly, the mixed f raction 111
31 can be converted to an improper f raction as:
111
31 =
1 × 31 + 11
31 =
42
31
Step 2
We now need to add the f ollowing like f ractions: 339
31 and
42
31 .
Step 3
Let us add the two like f ractions:
339
31 +
42
31
= 339 + 42
31
= 381
31
= 129

Step 1
Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to
convert the mixed f raction 1827
28 into an improper f raction, we will need to
multiply the denominator 28 by 18 and add the numerator 27 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:
1827
28 =
18 × 28 + 27
28 =
531
28
Similarly, the mixed f raction 121
22 can be converted to an improper f raction as:
121
22 =
1 × 22 + 21
22 =

Step 1
Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to
convert the mixed f raction 1222
25 into an improper f raction, we will need to
multiply the denominator 25 by 12 and add the numerator 22 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:
1222
25 =
12 × 25 + 22
25 =

Similarly, the mixed f raction 727
40 can be converted to an improper f raction as:
727
40 =
7 × 40 + 27
40 =
307
40
Step 2
We now need to add the f ollowing unlike f ractions: 322

Let us f ind the LCM of the denominators 25 and 40.The LCM of 25 and 40 is 200.
Step 4
What should we multiply with the denominator 25 to get the LCM 200?
It is 200
25 = 8.
So, the f irst f raction can be written as:
322 × 8
200 =
