1/5 + 2/58 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/5 plus 2/58 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/5 + 2/58 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/5 plus 2/58 = 34/145
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/5 plus 2/58 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/5 and fraction 2/58 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 58. 290 is the LCM of 5 and 58. Multiplying the LCM 290 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/5 x 290/290) + (2/58 x 290/290), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/5 is 58/290 and for 2/58 is 10/290. By simplifying this fraction addition 58/290 + 10/290, it becomes 68/290.

1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/5) + (2/58) using LCM Method:
What is 1/5 plus 2/58 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 2/58

What to be found?
(1/5) + (2/58) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/5 and 2/58.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 2/58 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 2/58 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 2/58:
The LCM of 5 and 58 is 290.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 2/58 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/5 + 2/58
= [(1 x 290)/(5 x 290)] + [(2 x 290)/(58 x 290)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/290 + 10/290

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/290 x (58/1 + 10/1)
= 1/290 x (58 + 10)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/290 x 68
= 68/290
= 34/145
1/5 + 2/58 = 34/145

Hence,
1/5 plus 2/58 as a fraction is 34/145.
