Summary: 14/11 plus 13/12 = 311/132
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 14/11 plus 13/12 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 14/11 and fraction 13/12 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 11 and 12. 132 is the LCM of 11 and 12. Multiplying the LCM 132 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (14/11 x 132/132) + (13/12 x 132/132), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 14/11 is 168/132 and for 13/12 is 143/132. By simplifying this fraction addition 168/132 + 143/132, it becomes 311/132.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 14/11 and 13/12 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 14/11 plus 13/12 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(14/11) + (13/12) using LCM Method:
What is 14/11 plus 13/12 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/11
Fraction B: 13/12
What to be found?
(14/11) + (13/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/11 and 13/12.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/11 and 13/12 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/11 and 13/12 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 14/11 and 13/12:
The LCM of 11 and 12 is 132.
step 4 Write the fractions 14/11 and 13/12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/11 + 13/12
= [(14 x 132)/(11 x 132)] + [(13 x 132)/(12 x 132)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 168/132 + 143/132
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/132 x (168/1 + 143/1)
= 1/132 x (168 + 143)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/132 x 311
= 311/132
14/11 + 13/12 = 311/132
Hence,
14/11 plus 13/12 as a fraction is 311/132.
14/11 + 13/12 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/11
Fraction B: 13/12
What to be found?
(14/11)+(13/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/11 and 13/12.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (14 x 12), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (13 x 11), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (11 x 12) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (14 x 12) + (13 x 11)/(11 x 12)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (168 + 143)/132
14/11 + 13/12 = 311/132
Hence,
14/11 plus 13/12 in fraction is 311/132
