Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "37.68" was replaced by "(3768/100)".

Step  1  :

            942
 Simplify   ———
            25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         942
  120 +  ———
         25 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

            120     120 • 25
     120 =  ———  =  ————————
             1         25   

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:

 120 • 25 + 942     3942
 ——————————————  =  ————
       25            25 

Final result :

  3942             
  ———— = 157.68000 
   25
