2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) + (2/65) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 2/65 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/65

What to be found?
(1/3) + (2/65) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/65.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/65 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/65 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 2/65:
The LCM of 3 and 65 is 195.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/65 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 + 2/65
= [(1 x 195)/(3 x 195)] + [(2 x 195)/(65 x 195)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 65/195 + 6/195

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/195 x (65/1 + 6/1)
= 1/195 x (65 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/195 x 71
= 71/195
1/3 + 2/65 = 71/195

Hence,
1/3 plus 2/65 as a fraction is 71/195.
