2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/83) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/83 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/83

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/83) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/83.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/83 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/83 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 7 and 83 is 581.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/83 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/83
= [(2 x 581)/(7 x 581)] + [(1 x 581)/(83 x 581)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 166/581 + 7/581

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/581 x (166/1 + 7/1)
= 1/581 x (166 + 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/581 x 173
= 173/581
2/7 + 1/83 = 173/581
