Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.00355" was replaced by "(00355/100000)".

Step  1  :

              71 
 Simplify   —————
            20000

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         71 
  8 +  —————
       20000

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20000  as the denominator :

          8     8 • 20000
     8 =  —  =  —————————
          1       20000  

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:

 8 • 20000 + 71     160071
 ——————————————  =  ——————
     20000          20000 

Final result :

  160071           
  —————— = 8.00355 
  20000
