Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.229712" was replaced by "(229712/1000000)".

Step  1  :

            14357
 Simplify   —————
            62500

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  14357    
  ————— +  6440000
  62500    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  62500  as the denominator :

               6440000     6440000 • 62500
    6440000 =  ———————  =  ———————————————
                  1             62500     

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:

 14357 + 6440000 • 62500     -1226911467
 ———————————————————————  =  ———————————
          62500                 62500   

Final result :

  -1226911467                
  ——————————— = -19630.58347 
     62500
