2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/98) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/98 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/98

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/98) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/98.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/98 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/98 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 7 and 98 is 98.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/98 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/98
= [(2 x 98)/(7 x 98)] + [(1 x 98)/(98 x 98)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 28/98 + 1/98

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/98 x (28/1 + 1/1)
= 1/98 x (28 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/98 x 29
= 29/98
2/7 + 1/98 = 29/98
