2/4 + 1/24 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/24 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/24 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/24 = 13/24
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/24 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/24 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 24. 24 is the LCM of 4 and 24. Multiplying the LCM 24 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 24/24) + (1/24 x 24/24), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 12/24 and for 1/24 is 1/24. By simplifying this fraction addition 12/24 + 1/24, it becomes 13/24.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/24) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/24 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/24

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/24) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/24.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/24 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/24 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 1/24:
The LCM of 4 and 24 is 24.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/24 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/24
= [(2 x 24)/(4 x 24)] + [(1 x 24)/(24 x 24)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 12/24 + 1/24

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/24 x (12/1 + 1/1)
= 1/24 x (12 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/24 x 13
= 13/24
2/4 + 1/24 = 13/24

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/24 as a fraction is 13/24.
