Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "295920.459" was replaced by "(295920459/1000)".

Step  1  :

            295920459
 Simplify   —————————
              1000   

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  295920459    
  ————————— -  125000
    1000       

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

              125000     125000 • 1000
    125000 =  ——————  =  —————————————
                1            1000     

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:

 295920459 - (125000 • 1000)     170920459
 ———————————————————————————  =  —————————
            1000                   1000   

Final result :

  170920459                
  ————————— = 170920.45900 
    1000
