2/8 + 1/51 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/8 plus 1/51 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/8 + 1/51 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/8 plus 1/51 = 55/204
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/8 plus 1/51 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/8 and fraction 1/51 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 8 and 51. 408 is the LCM of 8 and 51. Multiplying the LCM 408 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/8 x 408/408) + (1/51 x 408/408), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/8 is 102/408 and for 1/51 is 8/408. By simplifying this fraction addition 102/408 + 8/408, it becomes 110/408.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/51) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/51 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/51

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/51) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/51.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/51 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/51 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 1/51:
The LCM of 8 and 51 is 408.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/51 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/51
= [(2 x 408)/(8 x 408)] + [(1 x 408)/(51 x 408)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 102/408 + 8/408

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/408 x (102/1 + 8/1)
= 1/408 x (102 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/408 x 110
= 110/408
= 55/204
2/8 + 1/51 = 55/204

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/51 as a fraction is 55/204.
