Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "6.24" was replaced by "(624/100)".

Step  1  :

            156
 Simplify   ———
            25 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  156    
  ——— +  3
  25     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

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

         3     3 • 25
    3 =  —  =  ——————
         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:

 156 + 3 • 25     231
 ————————————  =  ———
      25          25 

Final result :

  231           
  ——— = 9.24000 
  25
