Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "15.1" was replaced by "(151/10)".

Step  1  :

            151
 Simplify   ———
            10 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         151
  100 -  ———
         10 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

            100     100 • 10
     100 =  ———  =  ————————
             1         10   

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:

 100 • 10 - (151)     849
 ————————————————  =  ———
        10            10 

Final result :

  849            
  ——— = 84.90000 
  10
