Learn how to find what is 2/7 plus 1/66 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/7 + 1/66 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/7 plus 1/66 = 139/462
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/7 plus 1/66 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/7 and fraction 1/66 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 66. 462 is the LCM of 7 and 66. Multiplying the LCM 462 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/7 x 462/462) + (1/66 x 462/462), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/7 is 132/462 and for 1/66 is 7/462. By simplifying this fraction addition 132/462 + 7/462, it becomes 139/462.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/7 and 1/66 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/7 plus 1/66 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/7) + (1/66) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/66 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/66
What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/66.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/66 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 1/66:
The LCM of 7 and 66 is 462.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/66 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/66
= [(2 x 462)/(7 x 462)] + [(1 x 462)/(66 x 462)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 132/462 + 7/462
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/462 x (132/1 + 7/1)
= 1/462 x (132 + 7)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/462 x 139
= 139/462
2/7 + 1/66 = 139/462
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/66 as a fraction is 139/462.
2/7 + 1/66 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/66
What to be found?
(2/7)+(1/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/66.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 66), 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 66) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 66) + (1 x 7)/(7 x 66)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (132 + 7)/462
2/7 + 1/66 = 139/462
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/66 in fraction is 139/462
