Step 4 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
4.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 625
The right denominator is : 100
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | 2 | 4 |
| 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 625 | 100 | 2500 |
Least Common Multiple:
2500
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 = 4
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 25
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. 5003 • 4 —————————————————— = ———————— L.C.M 2500 R. Mult. • R. Num. 37 • 25 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 2500
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:
5003 • 4 + 37 • 25 20937
—————————————————— = —————
2500 2500
Equation at the end of step 4 :
20937 49
————— + ——
2500 50
Step 5 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 2500
The right denominator is : 50
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 5 | 4 | 2 | 4 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 2500 | 50 | 2500 |
Least Common Multiple:
2500
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 = 50
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
L. Mult. • L. Num. 20937 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 2500 R. Mult. • R. Num. 49 • 50 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 2500
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
20937 + 49 • 50 23387
——————————————— = —————
2500 2500
Final result :
