1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/6) + (2/62) using LCM Method:
What is 1/6 plus 2/62 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/62

What to be found?
(1/6) + (2/62) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/6 and 2/62.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 2/62 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 and 2/62 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 1/6 and 2/62:
The LCM of 6 and 62 is 186.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 2/62 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/6 + 2/62
= [(1 x 186)/(6 x 186)] + [(2 x 186)/(62 x 186)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 31/186 + 6/186

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/186 x (31/1 + 6/1)
= 1/186 x (31 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/186 x 37
= 37/186
1/6 + 2/62 = 37/186

Hence,
1/6 plus 2/62 as a fraction is 37/186.
