The LCM of 5 and 93 is 465.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 1/93 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/5 - 1/93
= [(2 x 465)/(5 x 465)] - [(1 x 465)/(93 x 465)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 186/465 - 5/465

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/465 x (186/1 - 5/1)
= 1/465 x (186 - 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/465 x 181
= 181/465
2/5 - 1/93 = 181/465
