Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.072" was replaced by "(072/1000)".

Step  1  :

             9 
 Simplify   ———
            125

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   9     
  ——— +  1
  125    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  125  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 125
    1 =  —  =  ———————
         1       125  

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:

 9 + 125     134
 ———————  =  ———
   125       125

Final result :

  134           
  ——— = 1.07200 
  125
