Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.828" was replaced by "(2828/1000)".

Step  1  :

            707
 Simplify   ———
            250

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       707
  4 -  ———
       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 :

          4     4 • 250
     4 =  —  =  ———————
          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:

 4 • 250 - (707)     293
 ———————————————  =  ———
       250           250

Final result :

  293           
  ——— = 1.17200 
  250
