The LCM of 6 and 18 is 18.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 6/18 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/6+6/18
=(2 x 18)/(6 x 18)+(6 x 18)/(18 x 18)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=6/18+6/18
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/18 x (6/1+6/1)
=1/18 x (6 + 6)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/18 x 12
= 12/18
=2/3
2/6+6/18=2/3
