Simplify (1-1/x)/2

$\frac{1 - \frac{1}{x}}{2}$

Step 1

Simplify the numerator.

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$\frac{\frac{x}{x} - \frac{1}{x}}{2}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{\frac{x - 1}{x}}{2}$

Step 2

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\frac{x - 1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{2}$

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{x - 1}{x}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{x - 1}{x \cdot 2}$

Step 4

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$\frac{x - 1}{2 x}$
