Step  1  :

            729
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1708    729
  ———— +  ———
  1000    100

Step  2  :

            427
 Simplify   ———
            250

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  427    729
  ——— +  ———
  250    100

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       250 

      The right denominator is :       100 

      Least Common Multiple:
      500 

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 = 2

   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.      427 • 2
   ——————————————————  =   ———————
         L.C.M               500  

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      729 • 5
   ——————————————————  =   ———————
         L.C.M               500  

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:

 427 • 2 + 729 • 5     4499
 —————————————————  =  ————
        500            500 

Final result :

  4499           
  ———— = 8.99800 
  500
