(2/8) - (1/93) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 minus 1/93 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/93

What to be found?
(2/8) - (1/93) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/8 and 1/93.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/93 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/93 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 8 and 93 is 744.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/93 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 - 1/93
= [(2 x 744)/(8 x 744)] - [(1 x 744)/(93 x 744)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 186/744 - 8/744

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/744 x (186/1 - 8/1)
= 1/744 x (186 - 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/744 x 178
= 178/744
= 89/372
