Summary: 11/13 plus 15/19 = 404/247
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 11/13 plus 15/19 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 11/13 and fraction 15/19 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 13 and 19. 247 is the LCM of 13 and 19. Multiplying the LCM 247 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (11/13 x 247/247) + (15/19 x 247/247), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 11/13 is 209/247 and for 15/19 is 195/247. By simplifying this fraction addition 209/247 + 195/247, it becomes 404/247.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 11/13 and 15/19 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 11/13 plus 15/19 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(11/13) + (15/19) using LCM Method:
What is 11/13 plus 15/19 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/13
Fraction B: 15/19
What to be found?
(11/13) + (15/19) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/13 and 15/19.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/13 and 15/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/13 and 15/19 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 13 and 19 is 247.
step 4 Write the fractions 11/13 and 15/19 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/13 + 15/19
= [(11 x 247)/(13 x 247)] + [(15 x 247)/(19 x 247)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 209/247 + 195/247
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/247 x (209/1 + 195/1)
= 1/247 x (209 + 195)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/247 x 404
= 404/247
11/13 + 15/19 = 404/247
Hence,
11/13 plus 15/19 as a fraction is 404/247.
