The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/3 and 9/10 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/3 + 9/10
= [(17 x 30)/(3 x 30)] + [(9 x 30)/(10 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 170/30 + 27/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (170/1 + 27/1)
= 1/30 x (170 + 27)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 197
= 197/30
17/3 + 9/10 = 197/30
