Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.4" was replaced by "(24/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            12
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         8571          12
  (14 • —————) +  (5 • ——)
        10000          5 

Step  2  :

             8571
 Simplify   —————
            10000

Equation at the end of step  2  :

         8571     
  (14 • —————) +  12
        10000     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5000  as the denominator :

          12     12 • 5000
    12 =  ——  =  —————————
          1        5000   

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 :

 3.2       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:

 59997 + 12 • 5000     119997
 —————————————————  =  ——————
       5000             5000 

Final result :

  119997            
  —————— = 23.99940 
   5000
