1/2 + 1/66 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/2 plus 1/66 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/2 + 1/66 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/2 plus 1/66 = 17/33
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/2 plus 1/66 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/2 and fraction 1/66 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 2 and 66. 66 is the LCM of 2 and 66. Multiplying the LCM 66 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/2 x 66/66) + (1/66 x 66/66), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/2 is 33/66 and for 1/66 is 1/66. By simplifying this fraction addition 33/66 + 1/66, it becomes 34/66.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/2 and 1/66 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/2 plus 1/66 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/2) + (1/66) using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 1/66 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 1/66

What to be found?
(1/2) + (1/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 1/66.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 1/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 1/66 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 1/2 and 1/66:
The LCM of 2 and 66 is 66.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 1/66 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/2 + 1/66
= [(1 x 66)/(2 x 66)] + [(1 x 66)/(66 x 66)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 33/66 + 1/66

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/66 x (33/1 + 1/1)
= 1/66 x (33 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/66 x 34
= 34/66
= 17/33
1/2 + 1/66 = 17/33

Hence,
1/2 plus 1/66 as a fraction is 17/33.

1/2 + 1/66 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 1/66

What to be found?
(1/2)+(1/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 1/66.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 66), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 2), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (2 x 66) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 66) + (1 x 2)/(2 x 66)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (66 + 2)/132
= 68/132
= 17/33
