7/1 + 2/13 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 7/1 plus 2/13 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 7/1 + 2/13 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 7/1 plus 2/13 = 93/13
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 7/1 plus 2/13 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 7/1 and fraction 2/13 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 1 and 13. 13 is the LCM of 1 and 13. Multiplying the LCM 13 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (7/1 x 13/13) + (2/13 x 13/13), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 7/1 is 91/13 and for 2/13 is 2/13. By simplifying this fraction addition 91/13 + 2/13, it becomes 93/13.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(7/1) + (2/13) using LCM Method:
What is 7/1 plus 2/13 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/1
Fraction B: 2/13

What to be found?
(7/1) + (2/13) = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/1 and 2/13.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/1 and 2/13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/1 and 2/13 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 7/1 and 2/13:
The LCM of 1 and 13 is 13.

step 4 Write the fractions 7/1 and 2/13 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/1 + 2/13
= [(7 x 13)/(1 x 13)] + [(2 x 13)/(13 x 13)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 91/13 + 2/13

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/13 x (91/1 + 2/1)
= 1/13 x (91 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/13 x 93
= 93/13
7/1 + 2/13 = 93/13

Hence,
7/1 plus 2/13 as a fraction is 93/13.
