2/3 + 1/61 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/3 plus 1/61 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/3 + 1/61 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/3 plus 1/61 = 125/183
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/3 plus 1/61 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/3 and fraction 1/61 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 61. 183 is the LCM of 3 and 61. Multiplying the LCM 183 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/3 x 183/183) + (1/61 x 183/183), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/3 is 122/183 and for 1/61 is 3/183. By simplifying this fraction addition 122/183 + 3/183, it becomes 125/183.

1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/3) + (1/61) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 1/61 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/61

What to be found?
(2/3) + (1/61) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/61.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/61 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/61 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 1/61:
The LCM of 3 and 61 is 183.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/61 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 + 1/61
= [(2 x 183)/(3 x 183)] + [(1 x 183)/(61 x 183)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 122/183 + 3/183

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/183 x (122/1 + 3/1)
= 1/183 x (122 + 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/183 x 125
= 125/183
2/3 + 1/61 = 125/183

Hence,
2/3 plus 1/61 as a fraction is 125/183.
