  1000    10000

Step  2  :

            526
 Simplify   ———
            125

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  526     2571
  ——— -  —————
  125    10000

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       125 

      The right denominator is :       10000 

      Least Common Multiple:
      10000 

Calculating Multipliers :

 3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 80

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)²   and  (y²+y)/(y+1)³  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      526 • 80
   ——————————————————  =   ————————
         L.C.M              10000  

   R. Mult. • R. Num.       2571
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M             10000

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.4       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:

 526 • 80 - (2571)     39509
 —————————————————  =  —————
       10000           10000

Final result :

  39509           
  ————— = 3.95090 
  10000
