Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "6.005" was replaced by "(6005/1000)".

Step  1  :

            1201
 Simplify   ————
            200 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1201
  9 -  ————
       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 :

          9     9 • 200
     9 =  —  =  ———————
          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:

 9 • 200 - (1201)     599
 ————————————————  =  ———
       200            200

Final result :

  599           
  ——— = 2.99500 
  200
