2/4 + 1/57 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/57 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/57 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/57 = 59/114
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/57 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/57 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 57. 228 is the LCM of 4 and 57. Multiplying the LCM 228 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 228/228) + (1/57 x 228/228), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 114/228 and for 1/57 is 4/228. By simplifying this fraction addition 114/228 + 4/228, it becomes 118/228.

1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/57) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/57 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/57

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/57) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/57.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/57 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/57 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 1/57:
The LCM of 4 and 57 is 228.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/57 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/57
= [(2 x 228)/(4 x 228)] + [(1 x 228)/(57 x 228)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 114/228 + 4/228

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/228 x (114/1 + 4/1)
= 1/228 x (114 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/228 x 118
= 118/228
= 59/114
2/4 + 1/57 = 59/114

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/57 as a fraction is 59/114.
