Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "*-8" was replaced by "*(-8)".

Step  1  :

            7
 Simplify   —
            3

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        7         
  (0 -  — ÷ 7) -  -64
        3         

Step  2  :

         7      
 Divide  —  by  7
         3      

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        1     
  (0 -  —) -  -64
        3     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

           -64     -64 • 3
    -64 =  ———  =  ———————
            1         3   

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 :

 3.2       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:

 -1 - (-64 • 3)     191
 ——————————————  =  ———
       3             3 

Final result :

  191            
  ——— = 63.66667
