Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "43.15" was replaced by "(4315/100)".

Step  1  :

            863
 Simplify   ———
            20 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        863
  60 -  ———
        20 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

           60     60 • 20
     60 =  ——  =  ———————
           1        20   

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:

 60 • 20 - (863)     337
 ———————————————  =  ———
       20            20 

Final result :

  337            
  ——— = 16.85000 
  20
