Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

              1 
 Simplify   ————
            1024

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1      1 
  — -  ————
  1    1024

Step  2  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            1

Equation at the end of step  2  :

         1 
  1 -  ————
       1024

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  1024  as the denominator :

          1     1 • 1024
     1 =  —  =  ————————
          1       1024  

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:

 1024 - (1)     1023
 ——————————  =  ————
    1024        1024

Final result :

  1023           
  ———— = 0.99902 
  1024
