Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.48" was replaced by "(248/100)".

Step  1  :

            62
 Simplify   ——
            25

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       62
  7 -  ——
       25

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

          7     7 • 25
     7 =  —  =  ——————
          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:

 7 • 25 - (62)     113
 —————————————  =  ———
      25           25 

Final result :

  113           
  ——— = 4.52000 
  25
