Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "243.043" was replaced by "(243043/1000)".

Step  1  :

            243043
 Simplify   ——————
             1000 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         243043
  520 +  ——————
          1000 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1000  as the denominator :

            520     520 • 1000
     520 =  ———  =  ——————————
             1         1000   

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:

 520 • 1000 + 243043     763043
 ———————————————————  =  ——————
        1000              1000 

Final result :

  763043             
  —————— = 763.04300 
   1000
