Step-by-Step Solution: 2/19 + 2/6
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 19 and 6 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 19 ร 6 = 114.
LCD(19, 6) = 114
Step 2

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/19 by 6, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/6 by 19 so both fractions share the common base 114.
2 ร 6/19 ร 6 = 12/114 and 2 ร 19/6 ร 19 = 38/114
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (12 + 38 = 50) and keep the common denominator 114 unchanged.
12 + 38/114 = 50/114
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 50 and 114, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
50 รท 2/114 รท 2 = 25/57
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
