Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "8.75" was replaced by "(875/100)".

Step  1  :

            35
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  35    
  —— -  7
  4     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         7     7 • 4
    7 =  —  =  —————
         1       4  

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:

 35 - (7 • 4)     7
 ————————————  =  —
      4           4

Final result :

  7           
  — = 1.75000 
  4
