Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "303.5" was replaced by "(3035/10)".

Step  1  :

            607
 Simplify   ———
             2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   607           
  (——— +  21) +  15
    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 :

          21     21 • 2
    21 =  ——  =  ——————
          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:

 607 + 21 • 2     649
 ————————————  =  ———
      2            2 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  649    
  ——— +  15
   2     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

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

          15     15 • 2
    15 =  ——  =  ——————
          1        2   

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 649 + 15 • 2     679
 ————————————  =  ———
      2            2 

Final result :

  679             
  ——— = 339.50000
