\frac{\left(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{a}\right)a}{a-5}
Divide \frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{a} by \frac{a-5}{a} by multiplying \frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{a} by the reciprocal of \frac{a-5}{a}.
\frac{\left(\frac{a}{5a}-\frac{5}{5a}\right)a}{a-5}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 5 and a is 5a. Multiply \frac{1}{5} times \frac{a}{a}. Multiply \frac{1}{a} times \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{\frac{a-5}{5a}a}{a-5}
Since \frac{a}{5a} and \frac{5}{5a} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{\frac{\left(a-5\right)a}{5a}}{a-5}
Express \frac{a-5}{5a}a as a single fraction.
\frac{\frac{a-5}{5}}{a-5}
Cancel out a in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{a-5}{5\left(a-5\right)}
Express \frac{\frac{a-5}{5}}{a-5} as a single fraction.
\frac{1}{5}
Cancel out a-5 in both numerator and denominator.
