Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "5.917" was replaced by "(5917/1000)".

Step  1  :

            5917
 Simplify   ————
            1000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   5917          
  (———— • 10) -  3
   1000          

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

         3     3 • 100
    3 =  —  =  ———————
         1       100  

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:

 5917 - (3 • 100)     5617
 ————————————————  =  ————
       100            100 

Final result :

  5617            
  ———— = 56.17000 
  100
