1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/68) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/68 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/68

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/68) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/68.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/68 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/68 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 1/68:
The LCM of 6 and 68 is 204.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/68 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/68
= [(2 x 204)/(6 x 204)] + [(1 x 204)/(68 x 204)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 68/204 + 3/204

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/204 x (68/1 + 3/1)
= 1/204 x (68 + 3)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/204 x 71
= 71/204
2/6 + 1/68 = 71/204

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/68 as a fraction is 71/204.
