Step-by-Step Solution: 2/22 + 2/7
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 22 and 7 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 22 ร 7 = 154.
LCD(22, 7) = 154
Step 2

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/22 by 7, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/7 by 22 so both fractions share the common base 154.
2 ร 7/22 ร 7 = 14/154 and 2 ร 22/7 ร 22 = 44/154
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (14 + 44 = 58) and keep the common denominator 154 unchanged.
14 + 44/154 = 58/154
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 58 and 154, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
58 รท 2/154 รท 2 = 29/77
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
