Adding fractions

Question

Write a program or a function that takes two non-empty lists of the same length as input and does the following:

• uses elements of first list to get numerators,
• uses elements of the second list to get denominators,
• displays resulting fractions after simplification (2/4=>1/2), separated by "+"s,
• displays "=" and result of addition after last fraction.

Example:

Input

[1, 2, 3, 3, 6]
[2, 9, 3, 2, 4]

Output

1/2+2/9+1+3/2+3/2=85/18

About rules

• elements of lists will be positive integers,
• elements can be separated by spaces, eg: 1/2 + 2/9 + 1 + 3/2 + 3/2 = 85/18 is ok,
• trailing newline is allowed,
• lists can be taken in other formats than above, eg.: (1 2 3 3 6) or {1;2;3;3;6}, etc.,
• 1 can be expressed as 1/1,
• instead of printing you can return appropriate string,
• you do not need to handle wrong input,
• shortest code wins.

÷µFj”+;”=;S

This is a dyadic link. Due to a bug, it doesn't work as a full program. F is also required due to a bug.

Try it online!

How it works

÷µFj”+;”=;S  Dyadic link. Left argument: N. Right argument: D

÷            Perform vectorized division, yielding an array of fractions (R).
 µ           Begin a new, monadic chain. Argument: R
  F          Flatten R. R is already flat, but j is buggy and has side effects.
   j”+       Join R, separating by '+'.
      ;”=    Append '='.
         ;S  Append the sum of R.

Takes the lists in currying syntax (a)(b).

let f =

a=>b=>a.map((v,i)=>F(A=v,B=b[i],N=N*B+v*D,D*=B),N=0,D=1,F=(a,b)=>b?F(b,a%b):A/a+'/'+B/a).join`+`+'='+F(A=N,B=D)

console.log(f([1, 2, 3, 3, 6])([2, 9, 3, 2, 4]))

(N,D)->{int n=0,d=1,i=0,g;String s="";for(;i<N.length;g=g(N[i],D[i]),N[i]/=g,D[i]/=g,s+=(i>0?"+":"")+N[i]+"/"+D[i],n=n*D[i]+N[i]*d,d*=D[i++],g=g(n,d),n/=g,d/=g);return s+"="+n+"/"+d;}

N and D are both int[], contextualized.

f:=procedure(a,b){i:=1;l:=[];while(i<=#a){l:=l+[a[i]/b[i]];i+=1;}s:=join(l,"+");return s+"="+eval(s);};

Creates a function called f where your insert two lists.

ungolfed:

f := procedure (a,b) {
    i:=1;
    l:=[];
    while(i<=#a){
        l:=l+[a[i]/b[i]];
        i+=1;
    }
    s:=join(l,"+");
    return s+"="+eval(s);
};

with named variables and annotations:
_{setlX doesn't provide a comment feature so let's just pretend that we can comment with %}

f := procedure(firstList,secondList) {
    count := 1;
    list := []; 
    while(count <= #firstList) {
        % calculate every fraction and save it as a list
        list := list + [firstList[count]/secondList[count]];
        count += 1;
    }
    % Seperate every list entry with a plus ([2/3,1] -> "2/3+1")
    str := join(list, "+");
    % eval executes the string above and thus calculates our sum
    return str + "=" + eval(str);

Perl 6, 72 bytes 65 bytes

Native and automatic rationals should make this easy, but default stringification is still as decimal, so we have to .nude (numerator and denominator) which kills our score and makes the 1 ugly :(

my \n = 1,2,3,3,6; my \d = 2,9,3,2,4;
(n Z/d)».nude».join("/").join("+")~"="~([+] n Z/d).nude.join("/")

Update: Removed unneeded brackets, kill more space and use smarter map. Saves characters over Brad's solution at the cost of no not being a lambda sub.

:End                                                //End while loop, 2 bytes
:Str1                                               //Store Str1 to Ans, 3 bytes
:sub(Ans,2,length(Ans)-2                            //Remove opening and closing brackets, 13 bytes
:Ans+"="+toString(expr(Ans                          //Add "=" and answer, 11 bytes

Note the ⁄ at the beginning, different from /. This makes the fractions hold their forms. It does work with negative fractions.

Sigh. TI-BASIC is horrible with strings. If all we had to do was print the fractions, and then their sum, the code would be:

TI-BASIC, 12 bytes

:L₁⁄L₂    //Create fractions from lists, 7 bytes
:Disp Ans //Display the above fractions, 3 bytes
:sum(Ans  //Display the answer, 2 bytes

That means that 88 bytes of my code is spent just formatting the answer! Hmph.
