Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :
5 5 • 2
5 = — = —————
1 2
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 :
5.2 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:
9 + 5 • 2 19
————————— = ——

Step 6 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
6.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 2
The right denominator is : 10
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
5 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 2 | 10 | 10 |
Least Common Multiple:
10
Calculating Multipliers :
6.2 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 = 1
Making Equivalent Fractions :
6.3 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. 19 • 5 —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 10 R. Mult. • R. Num. 7 —————————————————— = —— L.C.M 10
