Difference is the answer to a subtraction problem. Change them to fractions with common denominators (28):
8/28 and 7/28
Then subtract the numerators to get 1/28. That's the difference.

When adding or subtracting fractions, you need a least common denominator. Your denominators are 4 and 7, which are mutually prime, so the LCD is 28.
2/7 * 4/4 = 8/28
1/4 * 7/7 = 7/28
2/7 - 1/4 = 8/28 - 7/28 = 1/28

the difference between two numbers in math is a term for subtraction so it would become 2/7-1/4.
