Step 4 :
4.1 Finding a Common Denominator The left 40000 The right 29 • 56 The product of any two denominators can be used as a common denominator. Said product is not necessarily the least common denominator. As a matter of fact, whenever the two denominators have a common factor, their product will be bigger than the least common denominator. Anyway, the product is a fine common denominator and can perfectly be used for calculating multipliers, as well as for generating equivalent fractions. 40000 • 29 • 56 will be used as a common denominator.
Calculating Multipliers :
4.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions
Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno
Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 29 • 56
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 40000
Making Equivalent Fractions :
4.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. 3 • (29•56) —————————————————— = ——————————————— Common denominator 40000 • (29•56) R. Mult. • R. Num. 27 • 40000 —————————————————— = ——————————————— Common denominator 40000 • (29•56)
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
3 • (29•56) - (27 • 40000) 3•29•56 - 1080000
—————————————————————————— = —————————————————
40000 • (29•56) 40000 • (29•56)
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
3 • 29 • 56 - 1080000 = 3 • (1 - 360000)
Final result :
3 • (1 + 360000) ———————————————— 40000 • (29•56)
