1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
2/8+2/14 using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 2/14 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 2/14
What to be found?
2/8+2/14 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 2/14.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 2/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 2/14 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 2/14:
The LCM of 8 and 14 is 56.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 2/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/8+2/14
=(2 x 56)/(8 x 56)+(2 x 56)/(14 x 56)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=14/56+8/56
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/56 x (14/1+8/1)
=1/56 x (14 + 8)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/56 x 22
= 22/56
=11/28
2/8+2/14=11/28
Hence,
2/8 plus 2/14 equals to 11/28 in fraction.
2/8+2/14 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 2/14
What to be found?
2/8+2/14 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 2/14.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 14), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 8), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (8 x 14) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 14) + (2 x 8)/(8 x 14)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (28 + 16)/112
= 44/112
= 11/28
2/8+2/14 = 11/28
Hence,
2/8 plus 2/14 = 11/28
