Solve 1^2-115/17

$$1 ^ { 2 } - 1 \frac { 15 } { 17 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{15}{17}\approx -0.882352941$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$1-\frac{1\times 17+15}{17}$$

Multiply 1 and 17 to get 17.

$$1-\frac{17+15}{17}$$

Add 17 and 15 to get 32.

$$1-\frac{32}{17}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{17}{17}.

$$\frac{17}{17}-\frac{32}{17}$$

Since \frac{17}{17} and \frac{32}{17} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-32}{17}$$

Subtract 32 from 17 to get -15.

$$-\frac{15}{17}$$

Factor
