Learn how to find what is 10/3 plus 6/7 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 10/3 + 6/7 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 10/3 plus 6/7 = 88/21
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 10/3 plus 6/7 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 10/3 and fraction 6/7 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 7. 21 is the LCM of 3 and 7. Multiplying the LCM 21 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (10/3 x 21/21) + (6/7 x 21/21), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 10/3 is 70/21 and for 6/7 is 18/21. By simplifying this fraction addition 70/21 + 18/21, it becomes 88/21.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(10/3) + (6/7) using LCM Method:
What is 10/3 plus 6/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/3
Fraction B: 6/7

What to be found?
(10/3) + (6/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 10/3 and 6/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 10/3 and 6/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 10/3 and 6/7 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

step 3For unlike fractions addition, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 10/3 and 6/7:
The LCM of 3 and 7 is 21.

step 4 Write the fractions 10/3 and 6/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 10/3 + 6/7
= [(10 x 21)/(3 x 21)] + [(6 x 21)/(7 x 21)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 70/21 + 18/21

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/21 x (70/1 + 18/1)
= 1/21 x (70 + 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/21 x 88
= 88/21
10/3 + 6/7 = 88/21

Hence,
10/3 plus 6/7 as a fraction is 88/21.
