Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "7.28" was replaced by "(728/100)".

Step  1  :

            182
 Simplify   ———
            25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        182
  20 -  ———
        25 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

           20     20 • 25
     20 =  ——  =  ———————
           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:

 20 • 25 - (182)     318
 ———————————————  =  ———
       25            25 

Final result :

  318            
  ——— = 12.72000 
  25
