(1): "10.1038" was replaced by "(101038/10000)".
Step 1 :
50519
Simplify —————
5000
Equation at the end of step 1 :
50519
((————— ÷ d41586 - 25) - 405) - 8
5000
Step 2 :
50519
Divide ————— by d41586
5000
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(72•1031)
((—————————— - 25) - 405) - 8
5000d41586
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000d41586 as the denominator :
25 25 • 5000d41586
25 = —— = ———————————————
1 5000d41586
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 :
3.2 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:
(72•1031) - (25 • 5000d41586) 72•1031 - 125000d41586
————————————————————————————— = ——————————————————————
5000d41586 5000d41586
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(72•1031 - 125000d41586)
(———————————————————————— - 405) - 8
5000d41586
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000d41586 as the denominator :
405 405 • 5000d41586
405 = ——— = ————————————————

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
4.2 Factoring: 50519 - 125000d41586
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 50519 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
4.3 Factoring: 50519 - 125000d41586
Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes, a3 - b3 can be factored into
(a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof : (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
a3+0+0-b3 =
a3-b3
Check : 50519 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(50519-125000d41586) - (405 • 5000d41586) 50519 - 2150000d41586
————————————————————————————————————————— = —————————————————————
5000d41586 5000d41586
Equation at the end of step 4 :
(50519 - 2150000d41586)
——————————————————————— - 8
5000d41586
Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000d41586 as the denominator :
8 8 • 5000d41586
8 = — = ——————————————

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
5.2 Factoring: 50519 - 2150000d41586
Check : 50519 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
5.3 Factoring: 50519 - 2150000d41586
Check : 50519 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(50519-2150000d41586) - (8 • 5000d41586) 50519 - 2190000d41586
———————————————————————————————————————— = —————————————————————
5000d41586 5000d41586
Trying to factor as a Sum of Cubes :
5.5 Factoring: 50519 - 2190000d41586
Theory : A sum of two perfect cubes, a3 + b3 can be factored into :
(a+b) • (a2-ab+b2)
Proof : (a+b) • (a2-ab+b2) =
a3-a2b+ab2+ba2-b2a+b3 =
a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)+b3=
a3+0+0+b3=
a3+b3
Check : 50519 is not a cube !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
50519 - 2190000d41586
