Reducing fractions to their lowest termsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
647
Simplify ————
2020
Equation at the end of step 1 :
647 ((a4) • a) + ———— 2020Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2020 as the denominator :
a5 a5 • 2020
a5 = —— = —————————
1 2020
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 :
2.2 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:
a5 • 2020 + 647 2020a5 + 647

Polynomial Roots Calculator :
2.3 Find roots (zeroes) of : F(a) = 2020a5 + 647
Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of a for which F(a)=0
Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers a which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers
The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient
In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 2020 and the Trailing Constant is 647.
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1,2 ,4 ,5 ,10 ,20 ,101 ,202 ,404 ,505 , etc
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,647
Let us test ....
P | Q | P/Q | F(P/Q) | Divisor | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-1 | 1 | -1.00 | -1373.00 | ||||||
-1 | 2 | -0.50 | 583.88 | ||||||

-1 | 10 | -0.10 | 646.98 |
Note - For tidiness, printing of 35 checks which found no root was suppressed
Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots
Final result :
