Solve 165+12div18-14*68=

$$165 + 12 \div 18 - 14 \times 68 =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{2359}{3}\approx -786.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$165+\frac{2}{3}-14\times 68$$

Convert 165 to fraction \frac{495}{3}.

$$\frac{495}{3}+\frac{2}{3}-14\times 68$$

Since \frac{495}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{495+2}{3}-14\times 68$$

Add 495 and 2 to get 497.

$$\frac{497}{3}-14\times 68$$

Multiply 14 and 68 to get 952.

$$\frac{497}{3}-952$$

Convert 952 to fraction \frac{2856}{3}.

$$\frac{497}{3}-\frac{2856}{3}$$

Since \frac{497}{3} and \frac{2856}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{497-2856}{3}$$

Subtract 2856 from 497 to get -2359.

$$-\frac{2359}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{2359}{3} = -786\frac{1}{3} = -786.3333333333334$$
