(1): "36.497" was replaced by "(36497/1000)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            36497
 Simplify   —————
            1000 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        36497     36497
  (2 +  —————) +  —————
        1000      1000 

Step  2  :

            36497
 Simplify   —————
            1000 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        36497     36497
  (2 +  —————) +  —————
        1000      1000 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

          2     2 • 1000
     2 =  —  =  ————————
          1       1000  

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 :

 3.2       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:

 2 • 1000 + 36497     38497
 ————————————————  =  —————
       1000           1000 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  38497    36497
  ————— +  —————
  1000     1000 

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 38497 + 36497     37497
 —————————————  =  —————
     1000           500 

Final result :

  37497            
  ————— = 74.99400 
   500
