Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "123.45" was replaced by "(12345/100)".

Step  1  :

            2469
 Simplify   ————
             20 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  2469    
  ———— +  456
   20     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

           456     456 • 20
    456 =  ———  =  ————————
            1         20   

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:

 2469 + 456 • 20     11589
 ———————————————  =  —————
       20             20  

Final result :

  11589             
  ————— = 579.45000 
   20
