(14/3) + (13/6) using LCM Method:
What is 14/3 plus 13/6 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/3
Fraction B: 13/6

What to be found?
(14/3) + (13/6) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/3 and 13/6.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/3 and 13/6 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/3 and 13/6 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 14/3 and 13/6:
The LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/3 and 13/6 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/3 + 13/6
= [(14 x 6)/(3 x 6)] + [(13 x 6)/(6 x 6)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 28/6 + 13/6

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/6 x (28/1 + 13/1)
= 1/6 x (28 + 13)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/6 x 41
= 41/6
14/3 + 13/6 = 41/6

Hence,
14/3 plus 13/6 as a fraction is 41/6.
