Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. (28/7) - (5/7) = (28 - 5)/7 = 23/7Check for Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified. The fraction 23/7 cannot be simplified further because 23 and 7 have no common factors other than 1.
