2/7 + 1/43 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/7 plus 1/43 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/7 + 1/43 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/7 plus 1/43 = 93/301
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/7 plus 1/43 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/7 and fraction 1/43 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 43. 301 is the LCM of 7 and 43. Multiplying the LCM 301 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/7 x 301/301) + (1/43 x 301/301), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/7 is 86/301 and for 1/43 is 7/301. By simplifying this fraction addition 86/301 + 7/301, it becomes 93/301.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/43) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/43 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/43

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/43) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/43.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/43 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/43 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 1/43:
The LCM of 7 and 43 is 301.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/43 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/43
= [(2 x 301)/(7 x 301)] + [(1 x 301)/(43 x 301)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 86/301 + 7/301

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/301 x (86/1 + 7/1)
= 1/301 x (86 + 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/301 x 93
= 93/301
2/7 + 1/43 = 93/301

Hence,
2/7 plus 1/43 as a fraction is 93/301.
