The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 2/52 from 1/9. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 1/9 minus 2/52.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/52) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/52 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/52

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/52) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/52.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/52 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/52 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 1/9 and 2/52:
The LCM of 9 and 52 is 468.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/52 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/52
= [(1 x 468)/(9 x 468)] - [(2 x 468)/(52 x 468)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 52/468 - 18/468

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/468 x (52/1 - 18/1)
= 1/468 x (52 - 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/468 x 34
= 34/468
= 17/234
1/9 - 2/52 = 17/234

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/52 as a fraction is 17/234.
