= [(2 x 171)/(9 x 171)] - [(1 x 171)/(57 x 171)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 38/171 - 3/171

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/171 x (38/1 - 3/1)
= 1/171 x (38 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/171 x 35
= 35/171
2/9 - 1/57 = 35/171
