Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
5.1 Adding fractions which 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 + 3 1
————— = —
5 1
Equation at the end of step 5 :
1 3 81
(— + ——) + ———
1 10 100
Step 6 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
6.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 10 as the denominator :
1 1 • 10
1 = — = ——————
1 10
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 :
6.2 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:
10 + 3 13
—————— = ——
10 10
Equation at the end of step 6 :
13 81
—— + ———

Step 7 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
7.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 10
The right denominator is : 100
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
5 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 10 | 100 | 100 |
Least Common Multiple:
100
Calculating Multipliers :
7.2 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 :
7.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
L. Mult. • L. Num. 13 • 10 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 100 R. Mult. • R. Num. 81 —————————————————— = ——— L.C.M 100
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
7.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
13 • 10 + 81 211
———————————— = ———
100 100
Final result :
211
——— = 2.11000
