1/1 + 1/36 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/1 plus 1/36 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/1 + 1/36 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/1 plus 1/36 = 37/36
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/1 plus 1/36 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/1 and fraction 1/36 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 36. 36 is the LCM of 1 and 36. Multiplying the LCM 36 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/1 x 36/36) + (1/36 x 36/36), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/1 is 36/36 and for 1/36 is 1/36. By simplifying this fraction addition 36/36 + 1/36, it becomes 37/36.

CALCULATION: 1/1 + 1/36 as a fraction

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/1 and 1/36 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/1 plus 1/36 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/1) + (1/36) using LCM Method:
What is 1/1 plus 1/36 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/36

What to be found?
(1/1) + (1/36) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/1 and 1/36.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/1 and 1/36 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/1 and 1/36 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 1/1 and 1/36:
The LCM of 1 and 36 is 36.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/1 and 1/36 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/1 + 1/36
= [(1 x 36)/(1 x 36)] + [(1 x 36)/(36 x 36)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 36/36 + 1/36

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/36 x (36/1 + 1/1)
= 1/36 x (36 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/36 x 37
= 37/36
1/1 + 1/36 = 37/36

Hence,
1/1 plus 1/36 as a fraction is 37/36.

1/1 + 1/36 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/1
Fraction B: 1/36

What to be found?
(1/1)+(1/36) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/1 and 1/36.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 36), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 1), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (1 x 36) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 36) + (1 x 1)/(1 x 36)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (36 + 1)/36
1/1 + 1/36 = 37/36

Hence,
1/1 plus 1/36 in fraction is 37/36
