Okay, so let's say i was to find the total resistance here.
00:04
So i'm given one of the initial resistance and another one of the initial resistance.
00:08
So i'm just going to plug that into my formula.
00:10
I see that this becomes 1 over 1 over 2 plus 1 over 3.
00:19
And i'm trying to simplify this.
00:21
So there's a couple ways i could simplify this.
00:24
The first way is i could look at the least common denominator here.
00:29
So the least common denominator between two and three, what's the smallest multiple? six.
00:34
So what i'm going to do is i'm going to multiply by six to the entire bottom and to the top.
00:40
Since technically my denominator is one, the least common denominator of one, two, and three is six.
00:45
When i do this, i'm going to get six, distribute six to both terms, six divided by two plus six divided by three.
00:55
Simplifying this more, 6 over 6 divided by 2 is 3, plus 6 divided by 3 is 2.

This will end up being 6 5ths...
