positive proper fractions: 113/165, 114/193, 95/198, 104/219, 99/272
Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
- To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent: divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
The fraction: 113/165
113/165 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 113 is a prime number.
- 165 = 3 × 5 × 11
- GCF (113; 165) = 1
The fraction: 114/193
114/193 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 114 = 2 × 3 × 19
- 193 is a prime number.
- GCF (114; 193) = 1
The fraction: 95/198
95/198 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 95 = 5 × 19
- 198 = 2 × 32 × 11
- GCF (95; 198) = 1
The fraction: 104/219
104/219 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 104 = 23 × 13
- 219 = 3 × 73
- GCF (104; 219) = 1
The fraction: 99/272
99/272 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 99 = 32 × 11
- 272 = 24 × 17
- GCF (99; 272) = 1
Calculate the common numerator
The common numerator is nothing else than the least common multiple (LCM) of the numerators of the fractions.
To calculate the LCM, we need the prime factorization of the numerators:
113 is a prime number.
114 = 2 × 3 × 19
95 = 5 × 19
104 = 23 × 13
99 = 32 × 11
Multiply all the unique prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the highest exponent (the highest powers).
LCM (113, 114, 95, 104, 99) = 23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113 = 110,527,560
Calculate the expanding number of each fraction:
Divide the LCM by the numerator of each fraction.
113/165 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 113 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ 113 = 978,120
114/193 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 114 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (2 × 3 × 19) = 969,540
95/198 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 95 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (5 × 19) = 1,163,448
104/219 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 104 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (23 × 13) = 1,062,765
99/272 ⟶ 110,527,560 ÷ 99 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 113) ÷ (32 × 11) = 1,116,440
Make the numerators of the fractions the same:
- Expand each fraction: multiply both its numerator and denominator by its corresponding expanding number, calculated above.
- This way all the fractions will have the same numerator:
113/165 = (978,120 × 113)/(978,120 × 165) = 110,527,560/161,389,800
114/193 = (969,540 × 114)/(969,540 × 193) = 110,527,560/187,121,220
95/198 = (1,163,448 × 95)/(1,163,448 × 198) = 110,527,560/230,362,704
104/219 = (1,062,765 × 104)/(1,062,765 × 219) = 110,527,560/232,745,535
99/272 = (1,116,440 × 99)/(1,116,440 × 272) = 110,527,560/303,671,680
