Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.0875" was replaced by "(0875/10000)".

Step  1  :

             7
 Simplify   ——
            80

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        7
  3 -  ——
       80

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  80  as the denominator :

          3     3 • 80
     3 =  —  =  ——————
          1       80  

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:

 3 • 80 - (7)     233
 ————————————  =  ———
      80          80 

Final result :

  233           
  ——— = 2.91250 
  80
