Learn how to find what is 2/3 plus 1/32 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/3 + 1/32 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/3 plus 1/32 = 67/96
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/3 plus 1/32 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/3 and fraction 1/32 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 32. 96 is the LCM of 3 and 32. Multiplying the LCM 96 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/3 x 96/96) + (1/32 x 96/96), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/3 is 64/96 and for 1/32 is 3/96. By simplifying this fraction addition 64/96 + 3/96, it becomes 67/96.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/3 + 1/32 = 67/96
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/3 and 1/32 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/3 plus 1/32 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/3) + (1/32) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 1/32 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/32
What to be found?
(2/3) + (1/32) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/32.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/32 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/32 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 2/3 and 1/32:
The LCM of 3 and 32 is 96.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/32 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 + 1/32
= [(2 x 96)/(3 x 96)] + [(1 x 96)/(32 x 96)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 64/96 + 3/96
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/96 x (64/1 + 3/1)
= 1/96 x (64 + 3)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/96 x 67
= 67/96
2/3 + 1/32 = 67/96
Hence,
2/3 plus 1/32 as a fraction is 67/96.
2/3 + 1/32 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/32
What to be found?
(2/3)+(1/32) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/32.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 32), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 32) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 32) + (1 x 3)/(3 x 32)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (64 + 3)/96
2/3 + 1/32 = 67/96
Hence,
2/3 plus 1/32 in fraction is 67/96
