Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.168" was replaced by "(168/1000)".

Step  1  :

             21
 Simplify   ———
            125

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          21
  102 -  ———
         125

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  125  as the denominator :

            102     102 • 125
     102 =  ———  =  —————————
             1         125   

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:

 102 • 125 - (21)     12729
 ————————————————  =  —————
       125             125 

Final result :

  12729             
  ————— = 101.83200 
   125
