The LCM of 9 and 89 is 801.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/89 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 - 1/89
= [(2 x 801)/(9 x 801)] - [(1 x 801)/(89 x 801)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 178/801 - 9/801

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/801 x (178/1 - 9/1)
= 1/801 x (178 - 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/801 x 169
= 169/801
2/9 - 1/89 = 169/801
