Investing ratios make no sense?

[RandomInvestor]

Hey guys so investing has really gotten under my nerve when it comes to ratios, they give a retarded outcome. For example here we have Rea group, I am trying to get the EPS the formula which is net income / total shares outstanding. Now in this case for Rea Group it is
253,000 / 131 000 000 = 0.00193; this does not look right at all.

You're missing three zeroes on your NPAT number. It's $253,000,000. So eps is $1.93.
