Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "16.76" was replaced by "(1676/100)".

Step  1  :

            419
 Simplify   ———
            25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       419
  5 +  ———
       25 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

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

          5     5 • 25
     5 =  —  =  ——————
          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:

 5 • 25 + 419     544
 ————————————  =  ———
      25          25 

Final result :

  544            
  ——— = 21.76000 
  25
