2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/8) + (2/86) using LCM Method:
What is 1/8 plus 2/86 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/8
Fraction B: 2/86

What to be found?
(1/8) + (2/86) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/8 and 2/86.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/8 and 2/86 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/8 and 2/86 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 1/8 and 2/86:
The LCM of 8 and 86 is 344.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/8 and 2/86 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/8 + 2/86
= [(1 x 344)/(8 x 344)] + [(2 x 344)/(86 x 344)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 43/344 + 8/344

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/344 x (43/1 + 8/1)
= 1/344 x (43 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/344 x 51
= 51/344
1/8 + 2/86 = 51/344

Hence,
1/8 plus 2/86 as a fraction is 51/344.
