2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/76) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/76 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/76

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/76) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/76.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/76 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/76 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 1/76:
The LCM of 8 and 76 is 152.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/76 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/76
= [(2 x 152)/(8 x 152)] + [(1 x 152)/(76 x 152)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 38/152 + 2/152

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/152 x (38/1 + 2/1)
= 1/152 x (38 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/152 x 40
= 40/152
= 5/19
2/8 + 1/76 = 5/19

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/76 as a fraction is 5/19.
