(14/15) + (1/18) using LCM Method:
What is 14/15 plus 1/18 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/15
Fraction B: 1/18

What to be found?
(14/15) + (1/18) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/15 and 1/18.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/15 and 1/18 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/15 and 1/18 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/15 and 1/18 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/15 + 1/18
= [(14 x 90)/(15 x 90)] + [(1 x 90)/(18 x 90)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 84/90 + 5/90

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/90 x (84/1 + 5/1)
= 1/90 x (84 + 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/90 x 89
= 89/90
14/15 + 1/18 = 89/90
