(1): "10.1038" was replaced by "(101038/10000)".
Step 1 :
50519
Simplify —————
5000
Equation at the end of step 1 :
50519
((————— ÷ s41467 - 21) - 27225) - 4
5000
Step 2 :
50519
Divide ————— by s41467
5000
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(72•1031)
((—————————— - 21) - 27225) - 4
5000s41467
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41467 as the denominator :
21 21 • 5000s41467
21 = —— = ———————————————
1 5000s41467
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) - (21 • 5000s41467) 72•1031 - 105000s41467
————————————————————————————— = ——————————————————————
5000s41467 5000s41467
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(72•1031 - 105000s41467)
(———————————————————————— - 27225) - 4
5000s41467
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41467 as the denominator :
27225 27225 • 5000s41467
27225 = ————— = ——————————————————
1 5000s41467
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
72 • 1031 - 105000s41467 = 7 • (7217 - 15000s41467)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
7 • (7217-15000s41467) - (27225 • 5000s41467) 50519 - 136230000s41467
————————————————————————————————————————————— = ———————————————————————
5000s41467 5000s41467
Equation at the end of step 5 :
(50519 - 136230000s41467)
————————————————————————— - 4
5000s41467
Step 6 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
6.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41467 as the denominator :
4 4 • 5000s41467
4 = — = ——————————————
1 5000s41467
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(50519-136230000s41467) - (4 • 5000s41467) 50519 - 136250000s41467
—————————————————————————————————————————— = ———————————————————————
5000s41467 5000s41467
Final result :
50519 - 136250000s41467
———————————————————————
5000s41467
