2/6 + 1/27 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/27 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/27 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 plus 1/27 = 10/27
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/27 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/27 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 27. 54 is the LCM of 6 and 27. Multiplying the LCM 54 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 54/54) + (1/27 x 54/54), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 18/54 and for 1/27 is 2/54. By simplifying this fraction addition 18/54 + 2/54, it becomes 20/54.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 1/27 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 1/27 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/27) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/27 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/27

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/27) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/27.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/27 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/27 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 2/6 and 1/27:
The LCM of 6 and 27 is 54.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/27 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/27
= [(2 x 54)/(6 x 54)] + [(1 x 54)/(27 x 54)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 18/54 + 2/54

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/54 x (18/1 + 2/1)
= 1/54 x (18 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/54 x 20
= 20/54
= 10/27
2/6 + 1/27 = 10/27

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/27 as a fraction is 10/27.
