7415 - 41125 = 2 + 6275 = 26275 Ans.
Example 3: Simplify 32⁄9 + 45⁄7 - 513⁄21 + 2⁄35 - 114⁄15. Given expression:
= 3 + 4 - 5 - 1 + 29 + 57 - 1321 + 235 - 1415
= 1 + 70 + 225 - 195 +18 - 294315
= 1 + 313 - 489[15]315
= 628 - 489315 = 139315 Ans.
[15] Obtained by adding all the numerators with + before them, and then all those with - before them.
