To subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Let's start by finding the common denominator for the fractions 18 6/15 and 74/5.

The first fraction, 18 6/15, can be rewritten as an improper fraction: (18 * 15 + 6) / 15 = 276/15.

Now let's find a common denominator for 276/15 and 74/5. The smallest common multiple of the denominators, 15 and 5, is 15. Therefore, we don't need to make any adjustments to the first fraction.

Now we can subtract the fractions:
276/15 - 74/5.

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. Since the denominators are already the same, we can subtract the numerators directly:
(276 - 74) / 15 = 202/15.

To reduce this fraction to its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.

The GCD of 202 and 15 is 1, so we divide both numerator and denominator by 1:
202/15 ÷ 1/1 = 202/15.

Therefore, the subtracted fraction, 74/5 subtracted from 18 6/15 and reduced to its lowest terms, is 202/15.
