Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "52.2" was replaced by "(522/10)".

Step  1  :

            261
 Simplify   ———
             5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  261    
  ——— +  44
   5     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

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

          44     44 • 5
    44 =  ——  =  ——————
          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:

 261 + 44 • 5     481
 ————————————  =  ———
      5            5 

Final result :

  481            
  ——— = 96.20000 
   5
