Step-by-Step Solution: 1/19 + 2/3
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 19 and 3 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 19 × 3 = 57.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/19 by 3, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 19 so both fractions share the common base 57.
1 × 3/19 × 3 = 3/57 and 2 × 19/3 × 19 = 38/57
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (3 + 38 = 41) and keep the common denominator 57 unchanged.
3 + 38/57 = 41/57
Step 4
Check if the Fraction Can Be Simplified
The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 41 and 57 is 1, confirming that 41/57 cannot be reduced further—it is already in its simplest irreducible form.
