By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 106/126.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 5/9 and 4/14 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 5/9 plus 4/14 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
5/9+4/14 using LCM Method:
What is 5/9 plus 4/14 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/9
Fraction B: 4/14
What to be found?
5/9+4/14 = ?
Find what's the sum of 5/9 and 4/14.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/9 and 4/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/9 and 4/14 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 9 and 14 is 126.
step 4 Write the fractions 5/9 and 4/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=5/9+4/14
=(5 x 126)/(9 x 126)+(4 x 126)/(14 x 126)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=70/126+36/126
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/126 x (70/1+36/1)
=1/126 x (70 + 36)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/126 x 106
= 106/126
=53/63
5/9+4/14=53/63
Hence,
5/9 plus 4/14 equals to 53/63 in fraction.
5/9+4/14 using Cross Multiplication Method:
