Step 3 :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       20000

      The right denominator is :       100000

Number of times each prime factor
appears in the factorization of:
Prime Factor	Left Denominator	Right Denominator	L.C.M = Max {Left,Right}
2	5	5	5
5	4	5	5
Product of all Prime Factors	20000	100000	100000

Least Common Multiple:
100000

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    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 = 5

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3 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.      17 • 5
   ——————————————————  =   ——————
         L.C.M             100000

   R. Mult. • R. Num.        51  
   ——————————————————  =   ——————
         L.C.M             100000

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4 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:

 17 • 5 - (51)       17 
 —————————————  =  —————
    100000         50000

Final result :

    17            
  ————— = 0.00034 
  50000
