Step 6 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
6.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 12341 as the denominator :
52 52 • 12341
52 = —— = ——————————
1 12341
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 :
6.2 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:
52 • 12341 + 800 309325
———————————————— = ——————
12341 12341
Equation at the end of step 6 :
309325 1
—————— - —
12341 5
Step 7 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
7.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 12341
The right denominator is : 5
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
7 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
41 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
43 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
5 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 12341 | 5 | 61705 |
Least Common Multiple:
61705
Calculating Multipliers :
7.2 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 = 5
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 12341
Making Equivalent Fractions :
7.3 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. 309325 • 5 —————————————————— = —————————— L.C.M 61705 R. Mult. • R. Num. 12341 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 61705
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
7.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
309325 • 5 - (12341) 1534284
———————————————————— = ———————
61705 61705
Final result :
1534284
——————— = 24.86482
