1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/69) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/69

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/69) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/69 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 1/69:
The LCM of 4 and 69 is 276.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/69 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/69
= [(2 x 276)/(4 x 276)] + [(1 x 276)/(69 x 276)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 138/276 + 4/276

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/276 x (138/1 + 4/1)
= 1/276 x (138 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/276 x 142
= 142/276
= 71/138
2/4 + 1/69 = 71/138

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/69 as a fraction is 71/138.
