The LCM of 6 and 14 is 42.

step 4 Write the fractions 7/6 and 15/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/6 + 15/14
= [(7 x 42)/(6 x 42)] + [(15 x 42)/(14 x 42)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 49/42 + 45/42

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/42 x (49/1 + 45/1)
= 1/42 x (49 + 45)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/42 x 94
= 94/42
= 47/21
