Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "17.005" was replaced by "(17005/1000)".

Step  1  :

            3401
 Simplify   ————
            200 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         3401
  399 -  ————
         200 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  200  as the denominator :

            399     399 • 200
     399 =  ———  =  —————————
             1         200   

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:

 399 • 200 - (3401)     76399
 ——————————————————  =  —————
        200              200 

Final result :

  76399             
  ————— = 381.99500 
   200
