By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 58/63.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 7/9 and 1/7 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 7/9 plus 1/7 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
7/9+1/7 using LCM Method:
What is 7/9 plus 1/7 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/9
Fraction B: 1/7
What to be found?
7/9+1/7 = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/9 and 1/7.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/9 and 1/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/9 and 1/7 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 7/9 and 1/7:
The LCM of 9 and 7 is 63.
step 4 Write the fractions 7/9 and 1/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=7/9+1/7
=(7 x 63)/(9 x 63)+(1 x 63)/(7 x 63)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=49/63+9/63
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/63 x (49/1+9/1)
=1/63 x (49 + 9)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/63 x 58
=58/63
7/9+1/7=58/63
Hence,
7/9 plus 1/7 equals to 58/63 in fraction.
7/9+1/7 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/9
Fraction B: 1/7
What to be found?
7/9+1/7 = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/9 and 1/7.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (7 x 7), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 9), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (9 x 7) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (7 x 7) + (1 x 9)/(9 x 7)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (49 + 9)/63
7/9+1/7 = 58/63
Hence,
7/9 plus 1/7 = 58/63
