(2/7) - (1/58) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 minus 1/58 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/58

What to be found?
(2/7) - (1/58) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/7 and 1/58.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/58 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/58 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 7 and 58 is 406.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/58 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 - 1/58
= [(2 x 406)/(7 x 406)] - [(1 x 406)/(58 x 406)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 116/406 - 7/406

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/406 x (116/1 - 7/1)
= 1/406 x (116 - 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/406 x 109
= 109/406
2/7 - 1/58 = 109/406

Hence,
2/7 minus 1/58 as a fraction is 109/406.
