Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 20 as the denominator :
10 10 • 20
10 = —— = ———————
1 20
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 :
4.2 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:
103 + 10 • 20 303
————————————— = ———
20 20
Equation at the end of step 4 :
303 63 1281281

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 20
The right denominator is : 5
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
5 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 20 | 5 | 20 |
Least Common Multiple:
20
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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 4
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 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. 303 —————————————————— = ——— L.C.M 20 R. Mult. • R. Num. 63 • 4 —————————————————— = —————— L.C.M 20
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
303 + 63 • 4 111
———————————— = ———
20 4
Equation at the end of step 5 :
111 1281281
——— + ———————
4 10000
Step 6 :
