Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.085" was replaced by "(085/1000)".

Step  1  :

             17
 Simplify   ———
            200

Equation at the end of step  1  :

            17
  71000 -  ———
           200

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  200  as the denominator :

              71000     71000 • 200
     71000 =  —————  =  ———————————
                1           200    

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:

 71000 • 200 - (17)     14199983
 ——————————————————  =  ————————
        200               200   

Final result :

  14199983               
  ———————— = 70999.91500 
    200
