Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.3" was replaced by "(13/10)".

Step  1  :

            13
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          13
  2486 -  ——
          10

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

             2486     2486 • 10
     2486 =  ————  =  —————————
              1          10    

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:

 2486 • 10 - (13)     24847
 ————————————————  =  —————
        10             10  

Final result :

  24847              
  ————— = 2484.70000 
   10
