Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "73.663" was replaced by "(73663/1000)".

Step  1  :

            73663
 Simplify   —————
            1000 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  73663    
  ————— -  23
  1000     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

          23     23 • 1000
    23 =  ——  =  —————————
          1        1000   

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:

 73663 - (23 • 1000)     50663
 ———————————————————  =  —————
        1000             1000 

Final result :

  50663            
  ————— = 50.66300 
  1000
