Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
4.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 5
The right denominator is : 50
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
5 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 5 | 50 | 50 |
Least Common Multiple:
50
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 = 10
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1
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. 1587 • 10 —————————————————— = ————————— L.C.M 50 R. Mult. • R. Num. 1 —————————————————— = —— L.C.M 50
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:
1587 • 10 + 1 15871
————————————— = —————
50 50
Equation at the end of step 4 :
15871 403
————— + ———
50 100
Step 5 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 50
The right denominator is : 100
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
5 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 50 | 100 | 100 |
Least Common Multiple:
100
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 = 2
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
L. Mult. • L. Num. 15871 • 2 —————————————————— = ————————— L.C.M 100 R. Mult. • R. Num. 403 —————————————————— = ——— L.C.M 100
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
15871 • 2 + 403 6429
——————————————— = ————
100 20
Final result :
