The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/67 from 1/5. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/5 minus 2/67.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/5) - (2/67) using LCM Method:
What is 1/5 minus 2/67 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 2/67

What to be found?
(1/5) - (2/67) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/5 and 2/67.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 2/67 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 2/67 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 1/5 and 2/67:
The LCM of 5 and 67 is 335.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 2/67 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/5 - 2/67
= [(1 x 335)/(5 x 335)] - [(2 x 335)/(67 x 335)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 67/335 - 10/335

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/335 x (67/1 - 10/1)
= 1/335 x (67 - 10)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/335 x 57
= 57/335
1/5 - 2/67 = 57/335

Hence,
1/5 minus 2/67 as a fraction is 57/335.
