(17/7) + (2/17) using LCM Method:
What is 17/7 plus 2/17 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 17/7
Fraction B: 2/17

What to be found?
(17/7) + (2/17) = ?
Find what's the sum of 17/7 and 2/17.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 17/7 and 2/17 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 17/7 and 2/17 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/7 and 2/17 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/7 + 2/17
= [(17 x 119)/(7 x 119)] + [(2 x 119)/(17 x 119)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 289/119 + 14/119

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/119 x (289/1 + 14/1)
= 1/119 x (289 + 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/119 x 303
= 303/119
17/7 + 2/17 = 303/119
