Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "8.5791" was replaced by "(85791/10000)".

Step  1  :

            85791
 Simplify   —————
            10000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  85791    
  ————— -  3
  10000    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10000  as the denominator :

         3     3 • 10000
    3 =  —  =  —————————
         1       10000  

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:

 85791 - (3 • 10000)     55791
 ———————————————————  =  —————
        10000            10000

Final result :

  55791           
  ————— = 5.57910 
  10000
