Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "52.56" was replaced by "(5256/100)".

Step  1  :

            1314
 Simplify   ————
             25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1314    
  ———— -  2
   25     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 25
    2 =  —  =  ——————
         1       25  

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:

 1314 - (2 • 25)     1264
 ———————————————  =  ————
       25             25 

Final result :

  1264            
  ———— = 50.56000 
   25
