1/2 + 2/47 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/2 plus 2/47 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/2 + 2/47 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/2 plus 2/47 = 51/94
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/2 plus 2/47 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/2 and fraction 2/47 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 2 and 47. 94 is the LCM of 2 and 47. Multiplying the LCM 94 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/2 x 94/94) + (2/47 x 94/94), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/2 is 47/94 and for 2/47 is 4/94. By simplifying this fraction addition 47/94 + 4/94, it becomes 51/94.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/2 and 2/47 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/2 plus 2/47 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/2) + (2/47) using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 2/47 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 2/47

What to be found?
(1/2) + (2/47) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 2/47.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 2/47 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 2/47 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 2/47:
The LCM of 2 and 47 is 94.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 2/47 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/2 + 2/47
= [(1 x 94)/(2 x 94)] + [(2 x 94)/(47 x 94)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 47/94 + 4/94

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/94 x (47/1 + 4/1)
= 1/94 x (47 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/94 x 51
= 51/94
1/2 + 2/47 = 51/94

Hence,
1/2 plus 2/47 as a fraction is 51/94.
