Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/44 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/44 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/6 plus 1/44 = 47/132
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/44 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/44 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 44. 132 is the LCM of 6 and 44. Multiplying the LCM 132 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 132/132) + (1/44 x 132/132), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 44/132 and for 1/44 is 3/132. By simplifying this fraction addition 44/132 + 3/132, it becomes 47/132.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/6 + 1/44 = 47/132
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 1/44 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 1/44 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/6) + (1/44) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/44 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/44
What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/44) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/44.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/44 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/44 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 1/44:
The LCM of 6 and 44 is 132.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/44 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/44
= [(2 x 132)/(6 x 132)] + [(1 x 132)/(44 x 132)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 44/132 + 3/132
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/132 x (44/1 + 3/1)
= 1/132 x (44 + 3)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/132 x 47
= 47/132
2/6 + 1/44 = 47/132
Hence,
2/6 plus 1/44 as a fraction is 47/132.
2/6 + 1/44 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/44
What to be found?
(2/6)+(1/44) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/44.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 44), 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 44) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 44) + (1 x 6)/(6 x 44)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (88 + 6)/264
= 94/264
= 47/132
2/6 + 1/44 = 47/132
Hence,
2/6 plus 1/44 in fraction is 47/132
