Step 5 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 250
The right denominator is : 2000
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1 | 4 | 4 |
5 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 250 | 2000 | 2000 |
Least Common Multiple:
2000
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 = 8
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
L. Mult. • L. Num. 3559 • 8 —————————————————— = ———————— L.C.M 2000 R. Mult. • R. Num. 14657 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 2000
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 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:
3559 • 8 + 14657 43129
———————————————— = —————
2000 2000
Final result :
43129
————— = 21.56450
