(2/8) + (1/69) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/69

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/69) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/69 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 8 and 69 is 552.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/69 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/69
= [(2 x 552)/(8 x 552)] + [(1 x 552)/(69 x 552)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 138/552 + 8/552

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/552 x (138/1 + 8/1)
= 1/552 x (138 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/552 x 146
= 146/552
= 73/276
