1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
1/2+4/17 using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 4/17 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 4/17
What to be found?
1/2+4/17 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 4/17.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 4/17 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 4/17 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 4/17:
The LCM of 2 and 17 is 34.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 4/17 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/2+4/17
=(1 x 34)/(2 x 34)+(4 x 34)/(17 x 34)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=17/34+8/34
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/34 x (17/1+8/1)
=1/34 x (17 + 8)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/34 x 25
=25/34
1/2+4/17=25/34
Hence,
1/2 plus 4/17 equals to 25/34 in fraction.
