step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/7
Fraction B: 18/1

What to be found?
(6/7) + (18) = ?
Find what's the sum of 6/7 and 18.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 6/7 and 18 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 6/7 and 18 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 6/7 and 18:
The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.

step 4 Write the fractions 6/7 and 18 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 6/7 + 18
= [(6 x 7)/(7 x 7)] + [(18 x 7)/(1 x 7)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 6/7 + 126/7

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/7 x (6/1 + 126/1)
= 1/7 x (6 + 126)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/7 x 132
= 132/7
6/7 + 18 = 132/7

Hence,
6/7 plus 18 as a fraction is 132/7.
