2/4 + 1/71 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/71 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/71 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/71 = 73/142
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/71 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/71 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 71. 284 is the LCM of 4 and 71. Multiplying the LCM 284 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 284/284) + (1/71 x 284/284), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 142/284 and for 1/71 is 4/284. By simplifying this fraction addition 142/284 + 4/284, it becomes 146/284.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/4 and 1/71 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/4 plus 1/71 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/71) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/71 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/71

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/71) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/71.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/71 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/71 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 1/71:
The LCM of 4 and 71 is 284.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/71 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/71
= [(2 x 284)/(4 x 284)] + [(1 x 284)/(71 x 284)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 142/284 + 4/284

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/284 x (142/1 + 4/1)
= 1/284 x (142 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/284 x 146
= 146/284
= 73/142
2/4 + 1/71 = 73/142

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/71 as a fraction is 73/142.
