2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/83) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/83 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/83

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/83) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/83.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/83 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/83 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 8 and 83 is 664.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/83 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/83
= [(2 x 664)/(8 x 664)] + [(1 x 664)/(83 x 664)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 166/664 + 8/664

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/664 x (166/1 + 8/1)
= 1/664 x (166 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/664 x 174
= 174/664
= 87/332
2/8 + 1/83 = 87/332
