2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/66) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/66 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/66

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/66.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/66 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 1/66:
The LCM of 8 and 66 is 264.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/66 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/66
= [(2 x 264)/(8 x 264)] + [(1 x 264)/(66 x 264)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 66/264 + 4/264

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/264 x (66/1 + 4/1)
= 1/264 x (66 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/264 x 70
= 70/264
= 35/132
2/8 + 1/66 = 35/132
