Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 8
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 3 1 3
Product of all
Prime Factors 8 2 8
Least Common Multiple:
8
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 = 4
