2/6 + 1/47 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/47 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/47 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 plus 1/47 = 50/141
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/47 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/47 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 47. 282 is the LCM of 6 and 47. Multiplying the LCM 282 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 282/282) + (1/47 x 282/282), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 94/282 and for 1/47 is 6/282. By simplifying this fraction addition 94/282 + 6/282, it becomes 100/282.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/47) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/47 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/47

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/47) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/47.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/47 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/47 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 1/47:
The LCM of 6 and 47 is 282.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/47 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/47
= [(2 x 282)/(6 x 282)] + [(1 x 282)/(47 x 282)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 94/282 + 6/282

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/282 x (94/1 + 6/1)
= 1/282 x (94 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/282 x 100
= 100/282
= 50/141
2/6 + 1/47 = 50/141

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/47 as a fraction is 50/141.
