Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.097" was replaced by "(097/1000)".

Step  1  :

             97 
 Simplify   ————
            1000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        97 
  7 -  ————
       1000

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

          7     7 • 1000
     7 =  —  =  ————————
          1       1000  

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:

 7 • 1000 - (97)     6903
 ———————————————  =  ————
      1000           1000

Final result :

  6903           
  ———— = 6.90300 
  1000
