The LCM of 2 and 11 is 22.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/2 and 16/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/2 + 16/11
= [(17 x 22)/(2 x 22)] + [(16 x 22)/(11 x 22)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 187/22 + 32/22

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/22 x (187/1 + 32/1)
= 1/22 x (187 + 32)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/22 x 219
= 219/22
17/2 + 16/11 = 219/22

Hence,
