I need help to figure out how overstriking work into equation on Latex.

\documentclass[book]

\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\st{$ \gamma $} = \frac{\gamma}{2\pi} = 42.58 \text{ Mhz/T}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

    Please, provide complete small document with your equation starting with \doumentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. Welcometo TeX.SE – Zarko Jul 16 '17 at 19:43

You shouldn't use the facilities of the soul package to strike out math-mode material. Instead, load the cancel package and use either \cancel, \bcancel, or xcancel to "cancel out" the term(s), as needed.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{cancel,siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\cancel{\gamma} = \frac{\gamma}{2\pi} = \SI{42.5}{Mhz/T}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

  • A follow-up comment: If, for some reason, you couldn't load the cancel package but yet could load the soul package (and the amsmath package too), I suppose you could get by with writing \text{\st{$\gamma$}}. However, you'd get a horizontal strike-out, which may not be easy for your readers to notice. That's why I recommend loading the cancel package for math-mode material, as the diagonal strike-out characters will basically be impossible to overlook. – Mico Jul 16 '17 at 20:06
