Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "373.2" was replaced by "(3732/10)".

Step  1  :

            1866
 Simplify   ————
             5  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1866    
  ———— -  273
   5      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

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

           273     273 • 5
    273 =  ———  =  ———————
            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:

 1866 - (273 • 5)     501
 ————————————————  =  ———
        5              5 

Final result :

  501             
  ——— = 100.20000 
   5
