2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/57) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/57 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/57

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/57) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/57.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/57 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/57 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 1/57:
The LCM of 6 and 57 is 114.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/57 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/57
= [(2 x 114)/(6 x 114)] + [(1 x 114)/(57 x 114)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 38/114 + 2/114

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/114 x (38/1 + 2/1)
= 1/114 x (38 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/114 x 40
= 40/114
= 20/57
2/6 + 1/57 = 20/57

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/57 as a fraction is 20/57.
