Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "23.29" was replaced by "(2329/100)".

Step  1  :

            2329
 Simplify   ————
            100 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        2329
  62 +  ————
        100 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

           62     62 • 100
     62 =  ——  =  ————————
           1        100   

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:

 62 • 100 + 2329     8529
 ———————————————  =  ————
       100           100 

Final result :

  8529            
  ———— = 85.29000 
  100
