(2/9) - (1/66) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 minus 1/66 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/66

What to be found?
(2/9) - (1/66) = ?
Find what's the difference between 2/9 and 1/66.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/66 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.

The LCM of 9 and 66 is 198.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/66 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 - 1/66
= [(2 x 198)/(9 x 198)] - [(1 x 198)/(66 x 198)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 44/198 - 3/198

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/198 x (44/1 - 3/1)
= 1/198 x (44 - 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/198 x 41
= 41/198
2/9 - 1/66 = 41/198
