The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/7+5
=(1 x 7)/(7 x 7)+(5 x 7)/(1 x 7)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/7+35/7
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/7 x (1/1+35/1)
=1/7 x (1 + 35)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/7 x 36
=36/7
1/7+5=36/7
Hence,
