2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) + (2/43) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 2/43 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/43

What to be found?
(1/3) + (2/43) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/43.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/43 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/43 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 1/3 and 2/43:
The LCM of 3 and 43 is 129.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/43 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 + 2/43
= [(1 x 129)/(3 x 129)] + [(2 x 129)/(43 x 129)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 43/129 + 6/129

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/129 x (43/1 + 6/1)
= 1/129 x (43 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/129 x 49
= 49/129
1/3 + 2/43 = 49/129

Hence,
1/3 plus 2/43 as a fraction is 49/129.
