Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "153.86" was replaced by "(15386/100)".

Step  1  :

            7693
 Simplify   ————
             50 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          7693
  1372 -  ————
           50 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  50  as the denominator :

             1372     1372 • 50
     1372 =  ————  =  —————————
              1          50    

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:

 1372 • 50 - (7693)     60907
 ——————————————————  =  —————
         50              50  

Final result :

  60907              
  ————— = 1218.14000 
   50
