Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.000865" was replaced by "(000865/1000000)".

Step  1  :

              173 
 Simplify   ——————
            200000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

    173     
  —————— +  234567000
  200000    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  200000  as the denominator :

                 234567000     234567000 • 200000
    234567000 =  —————————  =  ——————————————————
                     1               200000      

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:

 173 + 234567000 • 200000     -105554807
 ————————————————————————  =  ——————————
          200000                40000   

Final result :

  -105554807               
  —————————— = -2638.87018 
    40000
