Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

              1 
 Simplify   ————
            5026

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         1 
  1 -  ————
       5026

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5026  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 5026
     1 =  —  =  ————————
          1       5026  

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:

 5026 - (1)     5025
 ——————————  =  ————
    5026        5026

Final result :

  5025           
  ———— = 0.99980 
  5026
