2. Cross multiplication method.

(14/17) + (1/9) using LCM Method:
What is 14/17 plus 1/9 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/17
Fraction B: 1/9

What to be found?
(14/17) + (1/9) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/17 and 1/9.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/17 and 1/9 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/17 and 1/9 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 17 and 9 is 153.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/17 and 1/9 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/17 + 1/9
= [(14 x 153)/(17 x 153)] + [(1 x 153)/(9 x 153)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 126/153 + 17/153

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/153 x (126/1 + 17/1)
= 1/153 x (126 + 17)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/153 x 143
= 143/153
14/17 + 1/9 = 143/153
