2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/73) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/73 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/73

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/73) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/73.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/73 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/73 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 6 and 73 is 438.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/73 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/73
= [(2 x 438)/(6 x 438)] + [(1 x 438)/(73 x 438)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 146/438 + 6/438

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/438 x (146/1 + 6/1)
= 1/438 x (146 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/438 x 152
= 152/438
= 76/219
2/6 + 1/73 = 76/219
