Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 500 as the denominator :
2 2 • 500
2 = — = ———————
1 500
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:
2 • 500 + 2839 3839
—————————————— = ————
500 500
Equation at the end of step 4 :

Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
5 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 500 | 100 | 500 |
Least Common Multiple:
500
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 = 5
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. 3839 —————————————————— = ———— L.C.M 500 R. Mult. • R. Num. 943 • 5 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 500
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
3839 + 943 • 5 4277
—————————————— = ————
500 250
Equation at the end of step 5 :
