(17/7) + (4/5) using LCM Method:
What is 17/7 plus 4/5 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 17/7
Fraction B: 4/5

What to be found?
(17/7) + (4/5) = ?
Find what's the sum of 17/7 and 4/5.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 17/7 and 4/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 17/7 and 4/5 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 17/7 and 4/5:
The LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.

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

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 85/35 + 28/35

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/35 x (85/1 + 28/1)
= 1/35 x (85 + 28)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/35 x 113
= 113/35
17/7 + 4/5 = 113/35

Hence,
17/7 plus 4/5 as a fraction is 113/35.
