You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1.732 - 0.8391\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1.732 - 0.8391 = \frac{8929}{10000} = 0.8929 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\), \(\frac{732}{1000}\), and \(\frac{-8391}{10000}\) is \(10000\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1.732 - 0.8391 &= \frac{1 \cdot 10000}{1 \cdot 10000} + \frac{732 \cdot 10}{1000 \cdot 10} + \frac{-8391 \cdot 1}{10000 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10000 + 7320 + -8391}{10000} \\ &= \frac{8929}{10000} \end{aligned} \]
