1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/58) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/58 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/58

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/58) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/58.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/58 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/58 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 1/58:
The LCM of 4 and 58 is 116.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/58 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/58
= [(2 x 116)/(4 x 116)] + [(1 x 116)/(58 x 116)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/116 + 2/116

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/116 x (58/1 + 2/1)
= 1/116 x (58 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/116 x 60
= 60/116
= 15/29
2/4 + 1/58 = 15/29

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/58 as a fraction is 15/29.
