Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "25.475" was replaced by "(25475/1000)".

Step  1  :

            1019
 Simplify   ————
             40 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        1019
  58 -  ————
         40 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  40  as the denominator :

           58     58 • 40
     58 =  ——  =  ———————
           1        40   

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:

 58 • 40 - (1019)     1301
 ————————————————  =  ————
        40             40 

Final result :

  1301            
  ———— = 32.52500 
   40
