Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "88.39" was replaced by "(8839/100)".

Step  1  :

            8839
 Simplify   ————
            100 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          8839
  2870 +  ————
          100 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

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

             2870     2870 • 100
     2870 =  ————  =  ——————————
              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:

 2870 • 100 + 8839     295839
 —————————————————  =  ——————
        100             100  

Final result :

  295839              
  —————— = 2958.39000 
   100
