Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1000000 as the denominator :
100 100 • 1000000
100 = ——— = —————————————
1 1000000
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:
1 - (100 • 1000000) -99999999
——————————————————— = —————————
1000000 1000000
Final result :
-99999999
————————— = -100.00000
