2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/5) + (2/57) using LCM Method:
What is 1/5 plus 2/57 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 2/57

What to be found?
(1/5) + (2/57) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/5 and 2/57.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 2/57 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 2/57 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 1/5 and 2/57:
The LCM of 5 and 57 is 285.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 2/57 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/5 + 2/57
= [(1 x 285)/(5 x 285)] + [(2 x 285)/(57 x 285)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 57/285 + 10/285

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/285 x (57/1 + 10/1)
= 1/285 x (57 + 10)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/285 x 67
= 67/285
1/5 + 2/57 = 67/285

Hence,
1/5 plus 2/57 as a fraction is 67/285.
