Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "153.03" was replaced by "(15303/100)".

Step  1  :

            15303
 Simplify   —————
             100 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  15303    
  ————— -  50
   100     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

          50     50 • 100
    50 =  ——  =  ————————
          1        100   

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:

 15303 - (50 • 100)     10303
 ——————————————————  =  —————
        100              100 

Final result :

  10303             
  ————— = 103.03000 
   100
