6/5 + 14 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 6/5 plus 14 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 6/5 + 14 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 6/5 plus 14 = 76/5
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 6/5 plus 14 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 6/5 and fraction 14 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 1. 5 is the LCM of 5 and 1. Multiplying the LCM 5 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (6/5 x 5/5) + (14 x 5/5), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 6/5 is 6/5 and for 14 is 70/5. By simplifying this fraction addition 6/5 + 70/5, it becomes 76/5.

The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

step 4 Write the fractions 6/5 and 14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 6/5 + 14
= [(6 x 5)/(5 x 5)] + [(14 x 5)/(1 x 5)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 6/5 + 70/5

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/5 x (6/1 + 70/1)
= 1/5 x (6 + 70)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/5 x 76
= 76/5
6/5 + 14 = 76/5
