Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "789.84" was replaced by "(78984/100)".

Step  1  :

            19746
 Simplify   —————
             25  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  19746    
  ————— -  48
   25      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

          48     48 • 25
    48 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        25   

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:

 19746 - (48 • 25)     18546
 —————————————————  =  —————
        25              25  

Final result :

  18546             
  ————— = 741.84000 
   25
