Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "118.25" was replaced by "(11825/100)".

Step  1  :

            473
 Simplify   ———
             4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         473
  180 -  ———
          4 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

            180     180 • 4
     180 =  ———  =  ———————
             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:

 180 • 4 - (473)     247
 ———————————————  =  ———
        4             4 

Final result :

  247            
  ——— = 61.75000 
   4
