(2/46) + (1/59) using LCM Method:
What is 2/46 plus 1/59 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/46
Fraction B: 1/59

What to be found?
(2/46) + (1/59) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/46 and 1/59.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/46 and 1/59 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/46 and 1/59 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 46 and 59 is 2714.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/46 and 1/59 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/46 + 1/59
= [(2 x 2714)/(46 x 2714)] + [(1 x 2714)/(59 x 2714)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 118/2714 + 46/2714

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/2714 x (118/1 + 46/1)
= 1/2714 x (118 + 46)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/2714 x 164
= 164/2714
= 82/1357
2/46 + 1/59 = 82/1357

Hence,
2/46 plus 1/59 as a fraction is 82/1357.
