Step-by-Step Solution: 1/22 + 3/9
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 22 and 9 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 22 ร 9 = 198.

1 ร 9/22 ร 9 = 9/198 and 3 ร 22/9 ร 22 = 66/198
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (9 + 66 = 75) and keep the common denominator 198 unchanged.
9 + 66/198 = 75/198
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 75 and 198, which is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.
75 รท 3/198 รท 3 = 25/66
Step 5
