Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.5625" was replaced by "(5625/10000)".

Step  1  :

             9
 Simplify   ——
            16

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        9
  1 -  ——
       16

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  16  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 16
     1 =  —  =  ——————
          1       16  

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:

 16 - (9)      7
 ————————  =  ——
    16        16

Final result :

   7           
  —— = 0.43750
