Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "13.25" was replaced by "(1325/100)".

Step  1  :

            53
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  53    
  —— +  1
  4     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 4
    1 =  —  =  —————
         1       4  

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:

 53 + 4     57
 ——————  =  ——
   4        4 

Final result :

  57            
  —— = 14.25000 
  4
