Calculating the Least Common Multiple
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 4
The right denominator is : 2
Number of times each prime factor
appears in the factorization of:
Prime
Factor Left
Denominator Right
Denominator L.C.M = Max
{Left,Right}
2 2 1 2
Product of all
Prime Factors 4 2 4
Least Common Multiple:
4
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 = 1
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 2
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. -1
—————————————————— = ——
L.C.M 4
R. Mult. • R. Num. 2
—————————————————— = —
L.C.M 4
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:
-1 + 2 1
—————— = —
4 4
Final result :
1
— = 0.25000
