Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
4.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 200
The right denominator is : 10
| Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Product of all Prime Factors | 200 | 10 | 200 |
Least Common Multiple:
200
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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 20
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. 13njsa2 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 200 R. Mult. • R. Num. 33 • 20 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 200
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:
13njsa2 - (33 • 20) 13njsa2 - 660
——————————————————— = —————————————

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
4.5 Factoring: 13njsa2 - 660
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 13 is not a square !!
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares
Final result :
13njsa2 - 660
