Step  4  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 4.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       64 

      The right denominator is :       32 

      Least Common Multiple:
      64 

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 = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2

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.      25
   ——————————————————  =   ——
         L.C.M             64

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      9 • 2
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M              64  

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:

 25 + 9 • 2     43
 ——————————  =  ——
     64         64

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  43     5
  —— +  ——
  64    32

Step  5  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 5.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       64 

      The right denominator is :       32 

      Least Common Multiple:
      64 

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 = 2

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 5.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      43
   ——————————————————  =   ——
         L.C.M             64

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      5 • 2
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M              64  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 5.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 43 + 5 • 2     53
 ——————————  =  ——
     64         64

Final result :

  53           
  —— = 0.82812
