Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "631.24" was replaced by "(63124/100)".

Step  1  :

            15781
 Simplify   —————
             25  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  15781    
  ————— -  620
   25      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

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

           620     620 • 25
    620 =  ———  =  ————————
            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:

 15781 - (620 • 25)     281
 ——————————————————  =  ———
         25             25 

Final result :

  281            
  ——— = 11.24000 
  25
