2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/60) + (1/87) using LCM Method:
What is 2/60 plus 1/87 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/60
Fraction B: 1/87

What to be found?
(2/60) + (1/87) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/60 and 1/87.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/60 and 1/87 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/60 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 2/60 and 1/87:
The LCM of 60 and 87 is 1740.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/60 and 1/87 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/60 + 1/87
= [(2 x 1740)/(60 x 1740)] + [(1 x 1740)/(87 x 1740)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/1740 + 20/1740

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/1740 x (58/1 + 20/1)
= 1/1740 x (58 + 20)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/1740 x 78
= 78/1740
= 13/290
2/60 + 1/87 = 13/290

Hence,
2/60 plus 1/87 as a fraction is 13/290.
