(2/9) + (1/43) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 plus 1/43 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/43

What to be found?
(2/9) + (1/43) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/9 and 1/43.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/43 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/43 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 2/9 and 1/43:
The LCM of 9 and 43 is 387.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/43 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 + 1/43
= [(2 x 387)/(9 x 387)] + [(1 x 387)/(43 x 387)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 86/387 + 9/387

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/387 x (86/1 + 9/1)
= 1/387 x (86 + 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/387 x 95
= 95/387
2/9 + 1/43 = 95/387

Hence,
