2/8 + 1/41 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/8 plus 1/41 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/8 + 1/41 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/8 plus 1/41 = 45/164
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/8 plus 1/41 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/8 and fraction 1/41 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 8 and 41. 328 is the LCM of 8 and 41. Multiplying the LCM 328 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/8 x 328/328) + (1/41 x 328/328), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/8 is 82/328 and for 1/41 is 8/328. By simplifying this fraction addition 82/328 + 8/328, it becomes 90/328.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/41) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/41 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/41

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/41) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/41.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/41 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/41 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 2/8 and 1/41:
The LCM of 8 and 41 is 328.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/41 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/41
= [(2 x 328)/(8 x 328)] + [(1 x 328)/(41 x 328)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 82/328 + 8/328

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/328 x (82/1 + 8/1)
= 1/328 x (82 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/328 x 90
= 90/328
= 45/164
2/8 + 1/41 = 45/164

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/41 as a fraction is 45/164.
