Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/34 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/34 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/6 plus 1/34 = 37/102
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/34 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/34 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 34. 102 is the LCM of 6 and 34. Multiplying the LCM 102 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 102/102) + (1/34 x 102/102), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 34/102 and for 1/34 is 3/102. By simplifying this fraction addition 34/102 + 3/102, it becomes 37/102.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/6 + 1/34 = 37/102
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 1/34 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 1/34 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/6) + (1/34) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/34 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/34
What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/34) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/34.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/34 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/34 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 1/34:
The LCM of 6 and 34 is 102.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/34 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/34
= [(2 x 102)/(6 x 102)] + [(1 x 102)/(34 x 102)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 34/102 + 3/102
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/102 x (34/1 + 3/1)
= 1/102 x (34 + 3)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/102 x 37
= 37/102
2/6 + 1/34 = 37/102
Hence,
2/6 plus 1/34 as a fraction is 37/102.
2/6 + 1/34 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/34
What to be found?
(2/6)+(1/34) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/34.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 34), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 34) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 34) + (1 x 6)/(6 x 34)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (68 + 6)/204
= 74/204
= 37/102
2/6 + 1/34 = 37/102
Hence,
2/6 plus 1/34 in fraction is 37/102
