Find the  LCD 4 and 28 :

Factor each denominator into its primes :

4 = 2²
28 = 2² 7

Find the least common denominator 2²
7 = 28

LCD = 28

\(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{28}\)

Adjust fractions based on the LCD :

\(\frac{3*7}{28} - \frac{1}{28}\)

\(\frac{3*7-1}{28}\)

\(= \frac{20}{28}\)

Cancel common  factor 4 :

\(\frac{20/4}{28/4}\)

\(= \frac{5}{7}\)

hope this helps!
