Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.83" was replaced by "(283/100)".

Step  1  :

            283
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  283    
  ——— +  4
  100    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

         4     4 • 100
    4 =  —  =  ———————
         1       100  

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:

 283 + 4 • 100     683
 —————————————  =  ———
      100          100

Final result :

  683           
  ——— = 6.83000 
  100
