Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "40.82" was replaced by "(4082/100)".

Step  1  :

            2041
 Simplify   ————
             50 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  2041    
  ———— +  13
   50     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  50  as the denominator :

          13     13 • 50
    13 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        50   

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:

 2041 + 13 • 50     2691
 ——————————————  =  ————
       50            50 

Final result :

  2691            
  ———— = 53.82000 
   50
