Step 4 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
4.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 50
The right denominator is : 20
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
5 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 50 | 20 | 100 |
Least Common Multiple:
100
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 = 2
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 5
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. 2159 • 2 —————————————————— = ———————— L.C.M 100 R. Mult. • R. Num. 783 • 5 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 100
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:
2159 • 2 + 783 • 5 8233
—————————————————— = ————
100 100
Equation at the end of step 4 :
8233 1767
———— + ————
100 100
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:
8233 + 1767 100
——————————— = ———
100 1
Final result :
100
