The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/82 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 1/82.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) - (1/82) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 minus 1/82 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/82

What to be found?
(2/6) - (1/82) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/6 and 1/82.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/82 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/82 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 2/6 and 1/82:
The LCM of 6 and 82 is 246.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/82 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 - 1/82
= [(2 x 246)/(6 x 246)] - [(1 x 246)/(82 x 246)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 82/246 - 3/246

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/246 x (82/1 - 3/1)
= 1/246 x (82 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/246 x 79
= 79/246
2/6 - 1/82 = 79/246

Hence,
2/6 minus 1/82 as a fraction is 79/246.
