Evaluate

$\frac{301}{156}\approx 1.929487179$

Solution Steps

Multiply $6$ and $12$ to get $72$.

$$\frac{72+1}{12}-\frac{4\times 26+4}{26}$$

Add $72$ and $1$ to get $73$.

$$\frac{73}{12}-\frac{4\times 26+4}{26}$$

Multiply $4$ and $26$ to get $104$.

$$\frac{73}{12}-\frac{104+4}{26}$$

Add $104$ and $4$ to get $108$.

$$\frac{73}{12}-\frac{108}{26}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{108}{26}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{73}{12}-\frac{54}{13}$$

Least common multiple of $12$ and $13$ is $156$. Convert $\frac{73}{12}$ and $\frac{54}{13}$ to fractions with denominator $156$.

$$\frac{949}{156}-\frac{648}{156}$$

Since $\frac{949}{156}$ and $\frac{648}{156}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{949-648}{156}$$

Subtract $648$ from $949$ to get $301$.
