You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 - \frac{3}{7}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 - \frac{3}{7} = \frac{4}{7} = 0.\overline{571428} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-3}{7}\) is \(7\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - \frac{3}{7} &= \frac{1 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 7} + \frac{-3 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{7 + -3}{7} \\ &= \frac{4}{7} \end{aligned} \]
