Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "15901.4" was replaced by "(159014/10)".

Step  1  :

            79507
 Simplify   —————
              5  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

           79507
  18490 -  —————
             5  

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

              18490     18490 • 5
     18490 =  —————  =  —————————
                1           5    

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:

 18490 • 5 - (79507)     12943
 ———————————————————  =  —————
          5                5  

Final result :

  12943              
  ————— = 2588.60000
