Learn how to find what is 2/7 plus 1/41 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/7 + 1/41 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/7 plus 1/41 = 89/287
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/7 plus 1/41 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/7 and fraction 1/41 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 41. 287 is the LCM of 7 and 41. Multiplying the LCM 287 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/7 x 287/287) + (1/41 x 287/287), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/7 is 82/287 and for 1/41 is 7/287. By simplifying this fraction addition 82/287 + 7/287, it becomes 89/287.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/7 + 1/41 = 89/287
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/7 and 1/41 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/7 plus 1/41 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/7) + (1/41) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/41 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/41
What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/41) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/41.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/41 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/41 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 2/7 and 1/41:
The LCM of 7 and 41 is 287.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/41 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/41
= [(2 x 287)/(7 x 287)] + [(1 x 287)/(41 x 287)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 82/287 + 7/287
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/287 x (82/1 + 7/1)
= 1/287 x (82 + 7)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/287 x 89
= 89/287
2/7 + 1/41 = 89/287
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/41 as a fraction is 89/287.
2/7 + 1/41 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/41
What to be found?
(2/7)+(1/41) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/41.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 41), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 7), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (7 x 41) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 41) + (1 x 7)/(7 x 41)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (82 + 7)/287
2/7 + 1/41 = 89/287
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/41 in fraction is 89/287
