Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "3.5" was replaced by "(35/10)".

Step  1  :

            7
 Simplify   —
            2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  7    
  — +  18500000
  2    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

                18500000     18500000 • 2
    18500000 =  ————————  =  ————————————
                   1              2      

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:

 7 + 18500000 • 2     37000007
 ————————————————  =  ————————
        2                2    

Final result :

  37000007                  
  ———————— = 18500003.50000
