Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : x
The right denominator is : 128
Number of times each prime factor
appears in the factorization of:

Product of all
Prime Factors 1 128 128
Number of times each Algebraic Factor
appears in the factorization of:
Algebraic
Factor Left
Denominator Right
Denominator L.C.M = Max

x 1 0 1
Least Common Multiple:
128x
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 = 128
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = x
Making Equivalent Fractions :
3.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
