(2/9) + (1/62) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 plus 1/62 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/62

What to be found?
(2/9) + (1/62) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/9 and 1/62.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/62 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/62 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 9 and 62 is 558.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/62 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 + 1/62
= [(2 x 558)/(9 x 558)] + [(1 x 558)/(62 x 558)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 124/558 + 9/558

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/558 x (124/1 + 9/1)
= 1/558 x (124 + 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/558 x 133
= 133/558
2/9 + 1/62 = 133/558
