Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

             25
 Simplify   ———
            169

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        25
  1 -  ———
       169

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  169  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 169
     1 =  —  =  ———————
          1       169  

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:

 169 - (25)     144
 ——————————  =  ———
    169         169

Final result :

  144           
  ——— = 0.85207 
  169
