2/6 + 1/7 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/7 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/7 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 plus 1/7 = 10/21
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/7 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/7 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 7. 42 is the LCM of 6 and 7. Multiplying the LCM 42 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 42/42) + (1/7 x 42/42), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 14/42 and for 1/7 is 6/42. By simplifying this fraction addition 14/42 + 6/42, it becomes 20/42.

Pie Chart Representation: 2/6 + 1/7 = 10/21

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 1/7 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 1/7 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/7) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/7

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/7 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 1/7:
The LCM of 6 and 7 is 42.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/7
= [(2 x 42)/(6 x 42)] + [(1 x 42)/(7 x 42)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 14/42 + 6/42

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/42 x (14/1 + 6/1)
= 1/42 x (14 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/42 x 20
= 20/42
= 10/21
2/6 + 1/7 = 10/21

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/7 as a fraction is 10/21.

2/6 + 1/7 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/7

What to be found?
(2/6)+(1/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/7.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 7), 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 7) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 7) + (1 x 6)/(6 x 7)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (14 + 6)/42
= 20/42
= 10/21
