Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "47.9" was replaced by "(479/10)".

Step  1  :

            479
 Simplify   ———
            10 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  479    
  ——— +  86
  10     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

          86     86 • 10
    86 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        10   

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:

 479 + 86 • 10     1339
 —————————————  =  ————
      10            10 

Final result :

  1339             
  ———— = 133.90000 
   10
