Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.7182" was replaced by "(27182/10000)".

Step  1  :

            13591
 Simplify   —————
            5000 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  13591    
  ————— -  1
  5000     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5000  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 5000
    1 =  —  =  ————————
         1       5000  

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:

 13591 - (5000)     8591
 ——————————————  =  ————
      5000          5000

Final result :

  8591           
  ———— = 1.71820 
  5000
