The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/69 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 1/69.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/69) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/69

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/69) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/69 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 1/69:
The LCM of 6 and 69 is 138.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/69 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/69
= [(2 x 138)/(6 x 138)] - [(1 x 138)/(69 x 138)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 46/138 - 2/138

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/138 x (46/1 - 2/1)
= 1/138 x (46 - 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/138 x 44
= 44/138
= 22/69
2/6 - 1/69 = 22/69

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/69 as a fraction is 22/69.
