$$\frac{ 2 }{ 4 } - \frac{ 2 }{ 7 } =$$

$\frac{3}{14}\approx 0.214285714$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{7}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $7$ is $14$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$ to fractions with denominator $14$.

$$\frac{7}{14}-\frac{4}{14}$$

Since $\frac{7}{14}$ and $\frac{4}{14}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-4}{14}$$

Subtract $4$ from $7$ to get $3$.

$$\frac{3}{14}$$

$\frac{3}{2 \cdot 7} = 0.21428571428571427$
