4/1 + 11/6 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 4/1 plus 11/6 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/1 + 11/6 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 4/1 plus 11/6 = 35/6
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 4/1 plus 11/6 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 4/1 and fraction 11/6 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 6. 6 is the LCM of 1 and 6. Multiplying the LCM 6 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/1 x 6/6) + (11/6 x 6/6), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 4/1 is 24/6 and for 11/6 is 11/6. By simplifying this fraction addition 24/6 + 11/6, it becomes 35/6.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 4/1 and 11/6 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 4/1 plus 11/6 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(4/1) + (11/6) using LCM Method:
What is 4/1 plus 11/6 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/1
Fraction B: 11/6

What to be found?
(4/1) + (11/6) = ?
Find what's the sum of 4/1 and 11/6.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/1 and 11/6 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/1 and 11/6 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 4/1 and 11/6:
The LCM of 1 and 6 is 6.

step 4 Write the fractions 4/1 and 11/6 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 4/1 + 11/6
= [(4 x 6)/(1 x 6)] + [(11 x 6)/(6 x 6)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 24/6 + 11/6

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/6 x (24/1 + 11/1)
= 1/6 x (24 + 11)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/6 x 35
= 35/6
4/1 + 11/6 = 35/6

Hence,
4/1 plus 11/6 as a fraction is 35/6.
