Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

             2
 Simplify   ——
            15

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        2
  1 -  ——
       15

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  15  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 15
     1 =  —  =  ——————
          1       15  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 15 - (2)     13
 ————————  =  ——
    15        15

Final result :

  13           
  —— = 0.86667
