Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.66667" was replaced by "(266667/100000)".

Step  1  :

            266667
 Simplify   ——————
            100000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       266667
  6 -  ——————
       100000

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100000  as the denominator :

          6     6 • 100000
     6 =  —  =  ——————————
          1       100000  

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 • 100000 - (266667)     333333
 —————————————————————  =  ——————
        100000             100000

Final result :

  333333           
  —————— = 3.33333 
  100000
