2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/76) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/76 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/76

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/76) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/76.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/76 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/76 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 7 and 76 is 532.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/76 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/76
= [(2 x 532)/(7 x 532)] + [(1 x 532)/(76 x 532)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 152/532 + 7/532

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/532 x (152/1 + 7/1)
= 1/532 x (152 + 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/532 x 159
= 159/532
2/7 + 1/76 = 159/532
