Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "7.948" was replaced by "(7948/1000)".

Step  1  :

            1987
 Simplify   ————
            250 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         1987
  150 -  ————
         250 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  250  as the denominator :

            150     150 • 250
     150 =  ———  =  —————————
             1         250   

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 • 250 - (1987)     35513
 ——————————————————  =  —————
        250              250 

Final result :

  35513             
  ————— = 142.05200 
   250
