The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/94 from 1/3. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/3 minus 2/94.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) - (2/94) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 minus 2/94 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/94

What to be found?
(1/3) - (2/94) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/3 and 2/94.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/94 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/94 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/94:
The LCM of 3 and 94 is 282.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/94 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 - 2/94
= [(1 x 282)/(3 x 282)] - [(2 x 282)/(94 x 282)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 94/282 - 6/282

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/282 x (94/1 - 6/1)
= 1/282 x (94 - 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/282 x 88
= 88/282
= 44/141
1/3 - 2/94 = 44/141

Hence,
1/3 minus 2/94 as a fraction is 44/141.
