1/4 + 2/33 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/4 plus 2/33 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/4 + 2/33 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/4 plus 2/33 = 41/132
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/4 plus 2/33 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/4 and fraction 2/33 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 33. 132 is the LCM of 4 and 33. Multiplying the LCM 132 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/4 x 132/132) + (2/33 x 132/132), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/4 is 33/132 and for 2/33 is 8/132. By simplifying this fraction addition 33/132 + 8/132, it becomes 41/132.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/4 and 2/33 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/4 plus 2/33 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) + (2/33) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 plus 2/33 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/33

What to be found?
(1/4) + (2/33) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/33.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/33 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/33 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 1/4 and 2/33:
The LCM of 4 and 33 is 132.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/33 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 + 2/33
= [(1 x 132)/(4 x 132)] + [(2 x 132)/(33 x 132)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 33/132 + 8/132

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/132 x (33/1 + 8/1)
= 1/132 x (33 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/132 x 41
= 41/132
1/4 + 2/33 = 41/132

Hence,
1/4 plus 2/33 as a fraction is 41/132.
