2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/43) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/43 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/43

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/43) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/43.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/43 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/43 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 1/43:
The LCM of 6 and 43 is 258.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/43 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/43
= [(2 x 258)/(6 x 258)] + [(1 x 258)/(43 x 258)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 86/258 + 6/258

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/258 x (86/1 + 6/1)
= 1/258 x (86 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/258 x 92
= 92/258
= 46/129
2/6 + 1/43 = 46/129
