2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/3) + (1/73) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 1/73 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/73

What to be found?
(2/3) + (1/73) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/73.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/73 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/73 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 3 and 73 is 219.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/73 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 + 1/73
= [(2 x 219)/(3 x 219)] + [(1 x 219)/(73 x 219)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 146/219 + 3/219

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/219 x (146/1 + 3/1)
= 1/219 x (146 + 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/219 x 149
= 149/219
2/3 + 1/73 = 149/219
