Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/37 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/37 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/37 = 39/74
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/37 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/37 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 37. 148 is the LCM of 4 and 37. Multiplying the LCM 148 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 148/148) + (1/37 x 148/148), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 74/148 and for 1/37 is 4/148. By simplifying this fraction addition 74/148 + 4/148, it becomes 78/148.

1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/37) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/37 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/37

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/37) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/37.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/37 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/37 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 1/37:
The LCM of 4 and 37 is 148.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/37 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/37
= [(2 x 148)/(4 x 148)] + [(1 x 148)/(37 x 148)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 74/148 + 4/148

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/148 x (74/1 + 4/1)
= 1/148 x (74 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/148 x 78
= 78/148
= 39/74
2/4 + 1/37 = 39/74

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/37 as a fraction is 39/74.
