(2/7) + (3/13) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 3/13 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 3/13

What to be found?
(2/7) + (3/13) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 3/13.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 3/13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 3/13 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 7 and 13 is 91.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 3/13 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 3/13
= [(2 x 91)/(7 x 91)] + [(3 x 91)/(13 x 91)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 26/91 + 21/91

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/91 x (26/1 + 21/1)
= 1/91 x (26 + 21)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/91 x 47
= 47/91
2/7 + 3/13 = 47/91

Hence,
