Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2589.58" was replaced by "(258958/100)".

Step  1  :

            129479
 Simplify   ——————
              50  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  129479    
  —————— -  58
    50      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  50  as the denominator :

          58     58 • 50
    58 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        50   

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:

 129479 - (58 • 50)     126579
 ——————————————————  =  ——————
         50               50  

Final result :

  126579              
  —————— = 2531.58000 
    50
