2/4 + 1/77 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/4 plus 1/77 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/4 + 1/77 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/4 plus 1/77 = 79/154
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/4 plus 1/77 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/4 and fraction 1/77 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 77. 308 is the LCM of 4 and 77. Multiplying the LCM 308 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/4 x 308/308) + (1/77 x 308/308), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/4 is 154/308 and for 1/77 is 4/308. By simplifying this fraction addition 154/308 + 4/308, it becomes 158/308.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/77) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/77 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/77

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/77) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/77.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/77 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/77 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 1/77:
The LCM of 4 and 77 is 308.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/77 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/77
= [(2 x 308)/(4 x 308)] + [(1 x 308)/(77 x 308)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 154/308 + 4/308

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/308 x (154/1 + 4/1)
= 1/308 x (154 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/308 x 158
= 158/308
= 79/154
2/4 + 1/77 = 79/154
