Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "197.55" was replaced by "(19755/100)".

Step  1  :

            3951
 Simplify   ————
             20 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  3951    
  ———— -  9
   20     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

         9     9 • 20
    9 =  —  =  ——————
         1       20  

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:

 3951 - (9 • 20)     3771
 ———————————————  =  ————
       20             20 

Final result :

  3771             
  ———— = 188.55000 
   20
