What is 3/7 plus 16 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/7
Fraction B: 16/1

What to be found?
(3/7) + (16) = ?
Find what's the sum of 3/7 and 16.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/7 and 16 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/7 and 16 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 3/7 and 16:
The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.

step 4 Write the fractions 3/7 and 16 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 3/7 + 16
= [(3 x 7)/(7 x 7)] + [(16 x 7)/(1 x 7)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 3/7 + 112/7

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/7 x (3/1 + 112/1)
= 1/7 x (3 + 112)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/7 x 115
= 115/7
3/7 + 16 = 115/7

Hence,
3/7 plus 16 as a fraction is 115/7.
