Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "56.8" was replaced by "(568/10)".

Step  1  :

            284
 Simplify   ———
             5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         284
  204 -  ———
          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 :

            204     204 • 5
     204 =  ———  =  ———————
             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:

 204 • 5 - (284)     736
 ———————————————  =  ———
        5             5 

Final result :

  736             
  ——— = 147.20000
