Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "6.658" was replaced by "(6658/1000)".

Step  1  :

            3329
 Simplify   ————
            500 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  3329    
  ———— -  3
  500     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  500  as the denominator :

         3     3 • 500
    3 =  —  =  ———————
         1       500  

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:

 3329 - (3 • 500)     1829
 ————————————————  =  ————
       500            500 

Final result :

  1829           
  ———— = 3.65800 
  500
