Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.99" was replaced by "(99/100)".

Step  1  :

             99
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        99
  1 -  ———
       100

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 100
     1 =  —  =  ———————
          1       100  

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:

 100 - (99)      1 
 ——————————  =  ———
    100         100

Final result :

   1            
  ——— = 0.01000 
  100
