Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.75" was replaced by "(175/100)".

Step  1  :

            7
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        7     
  (0 -  —) +  2
        4     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 4
    2 =  —  =  —————
         1       4  

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:

 -7 + 2 • 4     1
 ——————————  =  —
     4          4

Final result :

  1           
  — = 0.25000 
  4
