Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "56.5" was replaced by "(565/10)".

Step  1  :

            113
 Simplify   ———
             2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  113    
  ——— +  156
   2     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

           156     156 • 2
    156 =  ———  =  ———————
            1         2   

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:

 113 + 156 • 2     425
 —————————————  =  ———
       2            2 

Final result :

  425             
  ——— = 212.50000
