Question

I know that 24.96% in fraction form is 156/625. I have 9 people splitting that amount in various amounts that have been provided as follows: 429,625/2,413,875
125,000/2,413,875
125,000/2,413,875
125,000/2,413,875
354,625 /2,413,875
150,000/2,413,875
150,000/2,413,875
150,000/2,413,875
804,625/2,413,875

When I add those amounts I come up with 1 not 156/625ths. Can anyone help?
