Summary: 14/9 plus 15/14 = 331/126
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 14/9 plus 15/14 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 14/9 and fraction 15/14 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 9 and 14. 126 is the LCM of 9 and 14. Multiplying the LCM 126 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (14/9 x 126/126) + (15/14 x 126/126), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 14/9 is 196/126 and for 15/14 is 135/126. By simplifying this fraction addition 196/126 + 135/126, it becomes 331/126.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 14/9 and 15/14 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 14/9 plus 15/14 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(14/9) + (15/14) using LCM Method:
What is 14/9 plus 15/14 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/9
Fraction B: 15/14
What to be found?
(14/9) + (15/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/9 and 15/14.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/9 and 15/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/9 and 15/14 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 14/9 and 15/14:
The LCM of 9 and 14 is 126.
step 4 Write the fractions 14/9 and 15/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/9 + 15/14
= [(14 x 126)/(9 x 126)] + [(15 x 126)/(14 x 126)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 196/126 + 135/126
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/126 x (196/1 + 135/1)
= 1/126 x (196 + 135)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/126 x 331
= 331/126
14/9 + 15/14 = 331/126
Hence,
14/9 plus 15/14 as a fraction is 331/126.
