Step 3 :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       1000

      The right denominator is :       200

Number of times each prime factor
appears in the factorization of:
Prime Factor	Left Denominator	Right Denominator	L.C.M = Max {Left,Right}
2	3	3	3
5	3	2	3
Product of all Prime Factors	1000	200	1000

Least Common Multiple:
1000

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 = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 5

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.      49911
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M             1000 

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      593 • 5
   ——————————————————  =   ———————
         L.C.M              1000

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:

 49911 - (593 • 5)     23473
 —————————————————  =  —————
       1000             500

Final result :

  23473            
  ————— = 46.94600 
   500
