Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.024" was replaced by "(024/1000)".

Step  1  :

             3 
 Simplify   ———
            125

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         3 
  54 -  ———
        125

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  125  as the denominator :

           54     54 • 125
     54 =  ——  =  ————————
           1        125   

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:

 54 • 125 - (3)     6747
 ——————————————  =  ————
      125           125 

Final result :

  6747            
  ———— = 53.97600 
  125
