Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "7.66" was replaced by "(766/100)".

Step  1  :

            383
 Simplify   ———
            50 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         383
  150 -  ———
         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 :

            150     150 • 50
     150 =  ———  =  ————————
             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:

 150 • 50 - (383)     7117
 ————————————————  =  ————
        50             50 

Final result :

  7117             
  ———— = 142.34000 
   50
