To solve \( \frac{1}{32} - \frac{1}{8} \), we need to find a common denominator.

1. The least common denominator (LCD) between 32 and 8 is 32.
   
2. Rewrite \( \frac{1}{8} \) with a denominator of 32:  
   \[
   \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{32}
   \]

3. Now subtract:
   \[
   \frac{1}{32} - \frac{4}{32} = \frac{1 - 4}{32} = \frac{-3}{32}
   \]

Thus, \( \frac{1}{32} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{-3}{32} \).
