The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 1/81 from 2/75. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 2/75 minus 1/81.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/75) - (1/81) using LCM Method:
What is 2/75 minus 1/81 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/75
Fraction B: 1/81

What to be found?
(2/75) - (1/81) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/75 and 1/81.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/75 and 1/81 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/75 and 1/81 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 2/75 and 1/81:
The LCM of 75 and 81 is 2025.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/75 and 1/81 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/75 - 1/81
= [(2 x 2025)/(75 x 2025)] - [(1 x 2025)/(81 x 2025)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 54/2025 - 25/2025

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/2025 x (54/1 - 25/1)
= 1/2025 x (54 - 25)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/2025 x 29
= 29/2025
2/75 - 1/81 = 29/2025

Hence,
2/75 minus 1/81 as a fraction is 29/2025.
