Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "14.98125" was replaced by "(1498125/100000)".

Step  1  :

            2397
 Simplify   ————
            160 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  2397    
  ———— -  13
  160     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  160  as the denominator :

          13     13 • 160
    13 =  ——  =  ————————
          1        160   

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:

 2397 - (13 • 160)     317
 —————————————————  =  ———
        160            160

Final result :

  317           
  ——— = 1.98125 
  160
