Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "3.4" was replaced by "(34/10)".

Step  1  :

            17
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        17
  9 +  (——)2)
        5 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       172
  9 +  ———
       52 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5²  as the denominator :

          9     9 • 52
     9 =  —  =  ——————
          1       52  

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 :

 3.2       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:

 9 • 25 + 289     514
 ————————————  =  ———
      25          25 

Final result :

  514            
  ——— = 20.56000 
  25
