Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.47" was replaced by "(47/100)".

Step  1  :

             47
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        47
  4 +  ———
       100

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

          4     4 • 100
     4 =  —  =  ———————
          1       100  

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:

 4 • 100 + 47     447
 ————————————  =  ———
     100          100

Final result :

  447           
  ——— = 4.47000 
  100
