Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "93.8" was replaced by "(938/10)".

Step  1  :

            469
 Simplify   ———
             5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         469
  180 -  ———
          5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

            180     180 • 5
     180 =  ———  =  ———————
             1         5   

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:

 180 • 5 - (469)     431
 ———————————————  =  ———
        5             5 

Final result :

  431            
  ——— = 86.20000 
   5
