Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "277.2" was replaced by "(2772/10)".

Step  1  :

            1386
 Simplify   ————
             5  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          1386
  1320 +  ————
           5  

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

             1320     1320 • 5
     1320 =  ————  =  ————————
              1          5    

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:

 1320 • 5 + 1386     7986
 ———————————————  =  ————
        5             5  

Final result :

  7986              
  ———— = 1597.20000 
   5
