2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/71) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/71 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/71

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/71) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/71.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/71 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/71 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 1/71:
The LCM of 7 and 71 is 497.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/71 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/71
= [(2 x 497)/(7 x 497)] + [(1 x 497)/(71 x 497)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 142/497 + 7/497

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/497 x (142/1 + 7/1)
= 1/497 x (142 + 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/497 x 149
= 149/497
2/7 + 1/71 = 149/497

Hence,
2/7 plus 1/71 as a fraction is 149/497.
