2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/7) + (2/96) using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 plus 2/96 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/96

What to be found?
(1/7) + (2/96) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/7 and 2/96.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 2/96 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 2/96 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 1/7 and 2/96:
The LCM of 7 and 96 is 672.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 2/96 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/7 + 2/96
= [(1 x 672)/(7 x 672)] + [(2 x 672)/(96 x 672)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 96/672 + 14/672

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/672 x (96/1 + 14/1)
= 1/672 x (96 + 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/672 x 110
= 110/672
= 55/336
1/7 + 2/96 = 55/336
