Learn how to find what is 1/2 plus 2/89 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/2 + 2/89 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/2 plus 2/89 = 93/178
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/2 plus 2/89 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/2 and fraction 2/89 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 2 and 89. 178 is the LCM of 2 and 89. Multiplying the LCM 178 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/2 x 178/178) + (2/89 x 178/178), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/2 is 89/178 and for 2/89 is 4/178. By simplifying this fraction addition 89/178 + 4/178, it becomes 93/178.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/2) + (2/89) using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 2/89 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 2/89

What to be found?
(1/2) + (2/89) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 2/89.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 2/89 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 2/89 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 2/89:
The LCM of 2 and 89 is 178.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 2/89 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/2 + 2/89
= [(1 x 178)/(2 x 178)] + [(2 x 178)/(89 x 178)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 89/178 + 4/178

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/178 x (89/1 + 4/1)
= 1/178 x (89 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/178 x 93
= 93/178
1/2 + 2/89 = 93/178

Hence,
1/2 plus 2/89 as a fraction is 93/178.
