Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "731.7" was replaced by "(7317/10)".

Step  1  :

            7317
 Simplify   ————
             10 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          7317
  8000 -  ————
           10 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

             8000     8000 • 10
     8000 =  ————  =  —————————
              1          10    

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:

 8000 • 10 - (7317)     72683
 ——————————————————  =  —————
         10              10  

Final result :

  72683              
  ————— = 7268.30000 
   10
