= [(14 x 19)/(1 x 19)] - [(10 x 19)/(19 x 19)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 266/19 - 10/19

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/19 x (266/1 - 10/1)
= 1/19 x (266 - 10)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/19 x 256
= 256/19
14/1 - 10/19 = 256/19
