| ( | 10 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 16 | = | ( | 10 | + | x | − | 997 100 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 | × | 1 16 | + | x | × | 1 16 |
| = | 5 8 | + | x | × | 1 16 |
5 8 | + | 1 16 | x | = | ( | 10 | + | x | − | 997 100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | + | x | − | 997 100 |
| = | 3 100 | + | x |
5 8 | + | 1 16 | x | = | 3 100 | + | x |
1 16 | x | − | x | = | 3 100 | − | 5 8 |
| - | 15 16 | x | = | 3 100 | − | 5 8 |
| - | 15 16 | x | = | - | 119 200 |
119 200 | = | 15 16 | x |
15 16 | x | = | 119 200 |
| x | = | 119 200 | ÷ | 15 16 |
| = | 119 200 | × | 16 15 |
| = | 119 25 | × | 2 15 |
