(17/5) + (10/7) using LCM Method:
What is 17/5 plus 10/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 17/5
Fraction B: 10/7

What to be found?
(17/5) + (10/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 17/5 and 10/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 17/5 and 10/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 17/5 and 10/7 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 17/5 and 10/7:
The LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/5 and 10/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/5 + 10/7
= [(17 x 35)/(5 x 35)] + [(10 x 35)/(7 x 35)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 119/35 + 50/35

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/35 x (119/1 + 50/1)
= 1/35 x (119 + 50)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/35 x 169
= 169/35
17/5 + 10/7 = 169/35

Hence,
17/5 plus 10/7 as a fraction is 169/35.
