Question: what was the change in millions of weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted computations from 2016 to 2017?
Evidence:
table_3: the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted computations of 2017 is 290.6 ; the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted computations of 2016 is 303.1 ; the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted computations of 2015 is 314.7 ;
Program: subtract(290.6, 303.1)
