Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.003" was replaced by "(003/1000)".

Step  1  :

              3 
 Simplify   ————
            1000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

    3     
  ———— +  1000
  1000    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

            1000     1000 • 1000
    1000 =  ————  =  ———————————
             1          1000    

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:

 3 + 1000 • 1000     1000003
 ———————————————  =  ———————
      1000            1000  

Final result :

  1000003              
  ——————— = 1000.00300 
   1000
