This solution deals with adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple.

Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple

1 Simplify — 2 5 1 — - — 6 2 5 Simplify — 6 5 1 — - — 6 2

3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple

The left denominator is : 6

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	1	1	1
3	1	0	1
Product of all Prime Factors	6	2	6

Least Common Multiple:

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 = 3

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. 5 —————————————————— = — L.C.M 6 R. Mult. • R. Num. 3 —————————————————— = — L.C.M 6

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:

5 - (3) 1 ——————— = — 6 3

Final result :

1 — = 0.33333 3
