\frac{522}{478}=\frac{1000000}{\frac{1000000x}{1000000+x}}
Expand \frac{5,22}{4,78} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
\frac{261}{239}=\frac{1000000}{\frac{1000000x}{1000000+x}}
Reduce the fraction \frac{522}{478} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
\frac{261}{239}=\frac{1000000\left(1000000+x\right)}{1000000x}
Variable x cannot be equal to -1000000 since division by zero is not defined. Divide 1000000 by \frac{1000000x}{1000000+x} by multiplying 1000000 by the reciprocal of \frac{1000000x}{1000000+x}.
\frac{261}{239}=\frac{x+1000000}{x}
Cancel out 1000000 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x+1000000}{x}=\frac{261}{239}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
239\left(x+1000000\right)=261x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 239x, the least common multiple of x;239.
239x+239000000=261x
Use the distributive property to multiply 239 by x+1000000.
239x+239000000-261x=0
Subtract 261x from both sides.
-22x+239000000=0
Combine 239x and -261x to get -22x.
-22x=-239000000
Subtract 239000000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-239000000}{-22}
Divide both sides by -22.
x=\frac{119500000}{11}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-239000000}{-22} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
