Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            28

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       11
  1 -  ——
       28

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  28  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 28
     1 =  —  =  ——————
          1       28  

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:

 28 - (11)     17
 —————————  =  ——
    28         28

Final result :

  17           
  —— = 0.60714 
  28
