Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.44" was replaced by "(244/100)".

Step  1  :

            61
 Simplify   ——
            25

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  61    
  —— +  4
  25    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

         4     4 • 25
    4 =  —  =  ——————
         1       25  

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:

 61 + 4 • 25     161
 ———————————  =  ———
     25          25 

Final result :

  161           
  ——— = 6.44000 
  25
