Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 7
The right denominator is : 5
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 5 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 7 | 5 | 35 |
Least Common Multiple:
35
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 = 7
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. 3a • 5 —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 35 R. Mult. • R. Num. 76 • 7 —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 35
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:
3a • 5 - (76 • 7) 15a - 532
————————————————— = —————————
35 35
Equation at the end of step 3 :
15a - 532
————————— ≤ 0
35
Step 4 :
4.1 Multiply both sides by 35
4.2 Divide both sides by 15
a-(532/15) ≤ 0
Solve Basic Inequality :
4.3 Add 532/15 to both sides
a ≤ 532/15
