2/4 + 1/14 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/14 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/14 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/14 = 4/7
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/14 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/14 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 14. 28 is the LCM of 4 and 14. Multiplying the LCM 28 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 28/28) + (1/14 x 28/28), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 14/28 and for 1/14 is 2/28. By simplifying this fraction addition 14/28 + 2/28, it becomes 16/28.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/14) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/14 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/14

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/14.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/14 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 2/4 and 1/14:
The LCM of 4 and 14 is 28.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/14
= [(2 x 28)/(4 x 28)] + [(1 x 28)/(14 x 28)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 14/28 + 2/28

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/28 x (14/1 + 2/1)
= 1/28 x (14 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/28 x 16
= 16/28
= 4/7
2/4 + 1/14 = 4/7

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/14 as a fraction is 4/7.
