Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "85.556" was replaced by "(85556/1000)".

Step  1  :

            21389
 Simplify   —————
             250 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         21389
  385 -  —————
          250 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  250  as the denominator :

            385     385 • 250
     385 =  ———  =  —————————
             1         250   

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:

 385 • 250 - (21389)     74861
 ———————————————————  =  —————
         250              250 

Final result :

  74861             
  ————— = 299.44400 
   250
