2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/87) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/87 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/87

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/87) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/87.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/87 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/87 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 1/87:
The LCM of 6 and 87 is 174.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/87 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/87
= [(2 x 174)/(6 x 174)] + [(1 x 174)/(87 x 174)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/174 + 2/174

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/174 x (58/1 + 2/1)
= 1/174 x (58 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/174 x 60
= 60/174
= 10/29
2/6 + 1/87 = 10/29

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/87 as a fraction is 10/29.
