Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.23607" was replaced by "(223607/100000)".

Step  1  :

            223607
 Simplify   ——————
            100000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  223607    
  —————— -  2
  100000    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100000  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 100000
    2 =  —  =  ——————————
         1       100000  

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:

 223607 - (2 • 100000)      23607
 —————————————————————  =  ——————
        100000             100000

Final result :

   23607           
  —————— = 0.23607 
  100000
