Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "9.9" was replaced by "(99/10)".

Step  1  :

            99
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

           99
  86000 -  ——
           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 :

              86000     86000 • 10
     86000 =  —————  =  ——————————
                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:

 86000 • 10 - (99)     859901
 —————————————————  =  ——————
        10               10  

Final result :

  859901               
  —————— = 85990.10000 
    10
