- 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
2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 6 | 2 | 6 |
Least Common Multiple:
6
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 6Adding 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 3Final result :
1 — = 0.33333 3
