The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/82 from 1/7. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/7 minus 2/82.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/7) - (2/82) using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 minus 2/82 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/82

What to be found?
(1/7) - (2/82) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/7 and 2/82.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 2/82 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 2/82 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 1/7 and 2/82:
The LCM of 7 and 82 is 574.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 2/82 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/7 - 2/82
= [(1 x 574)/(7 x 574)] - [(2 x 574)/(82 x 574)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 82/574 - 14/574

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/574 x (82/1 - 14/1)
= 1/574 x (82 - 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/574 x 68
= 68/574
= 34/287
1/7 - 2/82 = 34/287

Hence,
1/7 minus 2/82 as a fraction is 34/287.
