(1): "10.1038" was replaced by "(101038/10000)".
Step 1 :
50519
Simplify —————
5000
Equation at the end of step 1 :
50519
((————— ÷ s41591 - 24) - 3217) - 5
5000
Step 2 :
50519
Divide ————— by s41591
5000
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(72•1031)
((—————————— - 24) - 3217) - 5
5000s41591
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41591 as the denominator :
24 24 • 5000s41591
24 = —— = ———————————————
1 5000s41591
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) - (24 • 5000s41591) 72•1031 - 120000s41591
————————————————————————————— = ——————————————————————
5000s41591 5000s41591
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(72•1031 - 120000s41591)
(———————————————————————— - 3217) - 5
5000s41591
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41591 as the denominator :
3217 3217 • 5000s41591
3217 = ———— = —————————————————
1 5000s41591
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(50519-120000s41591) - (3217 • 5000s41591) 50519 - 16205000s41591
—————————————————————————————————————————— = ——————————————————————
5000s41591 5000s41591
Equation at the end of step 4 :
(50519 - 16205000s41591)
———————————————————————— - 5
5000s41591
Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5000s41591 as the denominator :
5 5 • 5000s41591
5 = — = ——————————————
1 5000s41591
Step 6 :
Pulling out like terms :
6.1 Pull out like factors :
50519 - 16205000s41591 = 7 • (7217 - 2315000s41591)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
7 • (7217-2315000s41591) - (5 • 5000s41591) 50519 - 16230000s41591
——————————————————————————————————————————— = ——————————————————————
5000s41591 5000s41591
Final result :
50519 - 16230000s41591
——————————————————————
5000s41591
