2/6 + 1/37 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/37 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/37 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 plus 1/37 = 40/111
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/37 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/37 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 37. 222 is the LCM of 6 and 37. Multiplying the LCM 222 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 222/222) + (1/37 x 222/222), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 74/222 and for 1/37 is 6/222. By simplifying this fraction addition 74/222 + 6/222, it becomes 80/222.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/37) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/37 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/37

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/37) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/37.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/37 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/37 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 1/37:
The LCM of 6 and 37 is 222.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/37 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/37
= [(2 x 222)/(6 x 222)] + [(1 x 222)/(37 x 222)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 74/222 + 6/222

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/222 x (74/1 + 6/1)
= 1/222 x (74 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/222 x 80
= 80/222
= 40/111
2/6 + 1/37 = 40/111

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/37 as a fraction is 40/111.
