2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/31) + (1/97) using LCM Method:
What is 2/31 plus 1/97 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/31
Fraction B: 1/97

What to be found?
(2/31) + (1/97) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/31 and 1/97.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/31 and 1/97 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/31 and 1/97 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 2/31 and 1/97:
The LCM of 31 and 97 is 3007.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/31 and 1/97 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/31 + 1/97
= [(2 x 3007)/(31 x 3007)] + [(1 x 3007)/(97 x 3007)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 194/3007 + 31/3007

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/3007 x (194/1 + 31/1)
= 1/3007 x (194 + 31)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/3007 x 225
= 225/3007
2/31 + 1/97 = 225/3007

Hence,
2/31 plus 1/97 as a fraction is 225/3007.
