Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.732" was replaced by "(1732/1000)".

Step  1  :

            433
 Simplify   ———
            250

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        433
  16 -  ———
        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 :

           16     16 • 250
     16 =  ——  =  ————————
           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:

 16 • 250 - (433)     3567
 ————————————————  =  ————
       250            250 

Final result :

  3567            
  ———— = 14.26800 
  250
