Step-by-Step Solution: 2/25 + 3/4
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 25 and 4 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 25 × 4 = 100.
LCD(25, 4) = 100
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 100
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/25 by 4, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 25 so both fractions share the common base 100.
2 × 4/25 × 4 = 8/100 and 3 × 25/4 × 25 = 75/100
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (8 + 75 = 83) and keep the common denominator 100 unchanged.
8 + 75/100 = 83/100
Step 4
Check if the Fraction Can Be Simplified
The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 83 and 100 is 1, confirming that 83/100 cannot be reduced further—it is already in its simplest irreducible form.
