(2/9) + (1/71) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 plus 1/71 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/71

What to be found?
(2/9) + (1/71) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/9 and 1/71.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/71 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/71 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 9 and 71 is 639.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/71 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 + 1/71
= [(2 x 639)/(9 x 639)] + [(1 x 639)/(71 x 639)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 142/639 + 9/639

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/639 x (142/1 + 9/1)
= 1/639 x (142 + 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/639 x 151
= 151/639
2/9 + 1/71 = 151/639
