(1300000-1/4)
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(1300000 - \frac{1}{4}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 1300000 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5199999}{4} = 1299999.75 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1300000}{1}\) and \(\frac{-1}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1300000 - \frac{1}{4} &= \frac{1300000 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{5200000 + -1}{4} \\ &= \frac{5199999}{4} \end{aligned} \]
