2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/3) + (1/46) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 1/46 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/46

What to be found?
(2/3) + (1/46) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/46.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/46 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/46 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 1/46:
The LCM of 3 and 46 is 138.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/46 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 + 1/46
= [(2 x 138)/(3 x 138)] + [(1 x 138)/(46 x 138)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 92/138 + 3/138

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/138 x (92/1 + 3/1)
= 1/138 x (92 + 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/138 x 95
= 95/138
2/3 + 1/46 = 95/138

Hence,
2/3 plus 1/46 as a fraction is 95/138.
