Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.237" was replaced by "(237/1000)".

Step  1  :

             237
 Simplify   ————
            1000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   237    
  ———— +  600
  1000    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

           600     600 • 1000
    600 =  ———  =  ——————————
            1         1000   

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:

 237 + 600 • 1000     600237
 ————————————————  =  ——————
       1000            1000 

Final result :

  600237             
  —————— = 600.23700 
   1000
