Learn how to find what is 1/7 plus 4 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/7 + 4 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 1/7 plus 4
Since both the fractions have the unequal denominators, you have to find the equivalent fractions for 1/7 and 4 having identical denominators before starting adding the fractions. Find the LCM of denominators, 7 is the LCM of 7 and 1. Multiply the LCM 7 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/7 x 7/7) + (4 x 7/7) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 29/7.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/7 and 4 by adding fraction to a whole number . The sum in fraction form for 1/7 plus 4/1 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
1/7+4 using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 plus 4 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 4/1
What to be found?
1/7+4 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/7 and 4.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 4 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 4 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 4:
The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 4 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/7+4
=(1 x 7)/(7 x 7)+(4 x 7)/(1 x 7)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/7+28/7
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/7 x (1/1+28/1)
=1/7 x (1 + 28)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/7 x 29
=29/7
1/7+4=29/7
Hence,
1/7 plus 4 equals to 29/7 in fraction.
1/7+4 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 4/1
What to be found?
1/7+4 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/7 and 4.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 1), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (4 x 7), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (7 x 1) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 1) + (4 x 7)/(7 x 1)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (1 + 28)/7
1/7+4 = 29/7
Hence,
1/7 plus 4 = 29/7
