2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) + (2/69) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 plus 2/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/69

What to be found?
(1/4) + (2/69) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/69 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 2/69:
The LCM of 4 and 69 is 276.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/69 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 + 2/69
= [(1 x 276)/(4 x 276)] + [(2 x 276)/(69 x 276)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 69/276 + 8/276

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/276 x (69/1 + 8/1)
= 1/276 x (69 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/276 x 77
= 77/276
1/4 + 2/69 = 77/276

Hence,
1/4 plus 2/69 as a fraction is 77/276.
