Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "25.6" was replaced by "(256/10)".

Step  1  :

            128
 Simplify   ———
             5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        128
  32 +  ———
         5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

           32     32 • 5
     32 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        5   

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:

 32 • 5 + 128     288
 ————————————  =  ———
      5            5 

Final result :

  288            
  ——— = 57.60000 
   5
