2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/97) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/97 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/97

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/97) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/97.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/97 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/97 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 1/97:
The LCM of 8 and 97 is 776.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/97 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/97
= [(2 x 776)/(8 x 776)] + [(1 x 776)/(97 x 776)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 194/776 + 8/776

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/776 x (194/1 + 8/1)
= 1/776 x (194 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/776 x 202
= 202/776
= 101/388
2/8 + 1/97 = 101/388
