The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/47 from 2/6. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 2/6 minus 1/47.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/47) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/47 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/47

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/47) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/47.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/47 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/47 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 2/6 and 1/47:
The LCM of 6 and 47 is 282.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/47 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/47
= [(2 x 282)/(6 x 282)] - [(1 x 282)/(47 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
2/6 - 1/47 = 44/141

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/47 as a fraction is 44/141.
