Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.01256" was replaced by "(01256/100000)".

Step  1  :

             157 
 Simplify   —————
            12500

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        157 
  6 -  —————
       12500

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  12500  as the denominator :

          6     6 • 12500
     6 =  —  =  —————————
          1       12500  

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:

 6 • 12500 - (157)     74843
 —————————————————  =  —————
       12500           12500

Final result :

  74843           
  ————— = 5.98744 
  12500
