1-1/7
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(1 - \frac{1}{7}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 1 - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{6}{7} = 0.\overline{857142} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-1}{7}\) is \(7\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - \frac{1}{7} &= \frac{1 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 7} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{7 + -1}{7} \\ &= \frac{6}{7} \end{aligned} \]
