Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{5}{3} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{20}{12}+\frac{9}{12}+\frac{19}{12}$$

Since \frac{20}{12} and \frac{9}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+9}{12}+\frac{19}{12}$$

Add 20 and 9 to get 29.

$$\frac{29}{12}+\frac{19}{12}$$

Since \frac{29}{12} and \frac{19}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{29+19}{12}$$

Add 29 and 19 to get 48.

$$\frac{48}{12}$$

Divide 48 by 12 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor
