You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{19}{7} - 2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{19}{7} - 2 = \frac{5}{7} = 0.\overline{714285} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{19}{7}\) and \(\frac{-2}{1}\) is \(7\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{19}{7} - 2 &= \frac{19 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 1} + \frac{-2 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 7} \\ &= \frac{19 + -14}{7} \\ &= \frac{5}{7} \end{aligned} \]
