Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "49.375" was replaced by "(49375/1000)".

Step  1  :

            395
 Simplify   ———
             8 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         395
  148 -  ———
          8 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  8  as the denominator :

            148     148 • 8
     148 =  ———  =  ———————
             1         8   

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:

 148 • 8 - (395)     789
 ———————————————  =  ———
        8             8 

Final result :

  789            
  ——— = 98.62500 
   8
