2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) + (2/79) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 plus 2/79 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/79

What to be found?
(1/4) + (2/79) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/79.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/79 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/79 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 2/79:
The LCM of 4 and 79 is 316.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/79 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 + 2/79
= [(1 x 316)/(4 x 316)] + [(2 x 316)/(79 x 316)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 79/316 + 8/316

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/316 x (79/1 + 8/1)
= 1/316 x (79 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/316 x 87
= 87/316
1/4 + 2/79 = 87/316

Hence,
1/4 plus 2/79 as a fraction is 87/316.
