2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/62) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/62 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/62

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/62) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/62.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/62 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/62 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 1/62:
The LCM of 8 and 62 is 248.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/62 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/62
= [(2 x 248)/(8 x 248)] + [(1 x 248)/(62 x 248)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 62/248 + 4/248

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/248 x (62/1 + 4/1)
= 1/248 x (62 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/248 x 66
= 66/248
= 33/124
2/8 + 1/62 = 33/124
