2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/79) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/79 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/79

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/79) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/79.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/79 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/79 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 1/79:
The LCM of 4 and 79 is 316.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/79 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/79
= [(2 x 316)/(4 x 316)] + [(1 x 316)/(79 x 316)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 158/316 + 4/316

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/316 x (158/1 + 4/1)
= 1/316 x (158 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/316 x 162
= 162/316
= 81/158
2/4 + 1/79 = 81/158
