Step 3 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple 
 
      The left denominator is :       4 
      The right denominator is :       10 
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} | 
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 
| 5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 
| Product of all Prime Factors | 4 | 10 | 20 | 
      Least Common Multiple: 
      20 
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 = 2
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. 5 —————————————————— = —— L.C.M 20 R. Mult. • R. Num. 3 • 2 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 20
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:
 5 + 3 • 2     11
 —————————  =  ——
    20         20
Final result :
  11           
  —— = 0.55000 
  20
