2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/4) + (1/84) using LCM Method:
What is 2/4 plus 1/84 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/4
Fraction B: 1/84

What to be found?
(2/4) + (1/84) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/4 and 1/84.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/4 and 1/84 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/4 and 1/84 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 4 and 84 is 84.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/4 and 1/84 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/4 + 1/84
= [(2 x 84)/(4 x 84)] + [(1 x 84)/(84 x 84)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 42/84 + 1/84

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/84 x (42/1 + 1/1)
= 1/84 x (42 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/84 x 43
= 43/84
2/4 + 1/84 = 43/84

Hence,
2/4 plus 1/84 as a fraction is 43/84.
