2. Cross multiplication method.

(18/1) + (15/14) using LCM Method:
What is 18/1 plus 15/14 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 18/1
Fraction B: 15/14

What to be found?
(18/1) + (15/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 18/1 and 15/14.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 18/1 and 15/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 18/1 and 15/14 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 1 and 14 is 14.

step 4 Write the fractions 18/1 and 15/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 18/1 + 15/14
= [(18 x 14)/(1 x 14)] + [(15 x 14)/(14 x 14)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 252/14 + 15/14

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/14 x (252/1 + 15/1)
= 1/14 x (252 + 15)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/14 x 267
= 267/14
18/1 + 15/14 = 267/14
