(14/3) + (17/7) using LCM Method:
What is 14/3 plus 17/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/3
Fraction B: 17/7

What to be found?
(14/3) + (17/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/3 and 17/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/3 and 17/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/3 and 17/7 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 17/7:
The LCM of 3 and 7 is 21.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/3 and 17/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/3 + 17/7
= [(14 x 21)/(3 x 21)] + [(17 x 21)/(7 x 21)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 98/21 + 51/21

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/21 x (98/1 + 51/1)
= 1/21 x (98 + 51)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/21 x 149
= 149/21
14/3 + 17/7 = 149/21

Hence,
14/3 plus 17/7 as a fraction is 149/21.
