Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1000 as the denominator :
1 1 • 1000
1 = — = ————————
1 1000
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 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:
861 + 1000 1861
—————————— = ————
1000 1000
Equation at the end of step 4 :
1861 23 123
(———— + ——) + ———

Step 5 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 1000
The right denominator is : 20
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
| 5 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 1000 | 20 | 1000 |
Least Common Multiple:
1000
Calculating Multipliers :
5.2 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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 50
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 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. 1861 —————————————————— = ———— L.C.M 1000 R. Mult. • R. Num. 23 • 50 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 1000
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
1861 + 23 • 50 3011
—————————————— = ————
1000 1000
Equation at the end of step 5 :
3011 123
———— + ———
1000 100
Step 6 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
6.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 1000
The right denominator is : 100
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
| 5 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 1000 | 100 | 1000 |
Least Common Multiple:
1000
Calculating Multipliers :
6.2 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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 10
Making Equivalent Fractions :
6.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
L. Mult. • L. Num. 3011 —————————————————— = ———— L.C.M 1000 R. Mult. • R. Num. 123 • 10 —————————————————— = ———————— L.C.M 1000
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
3011 + 123 • 10 4241
——————————————— = ————
1000 1000
Final result :
