2 ร 10/41 ร 10 = 20/410 and 2 ร 41/10 ร 41 = 82/410
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (20 + 82 = 102) and keep the common denominator 410 unchanged.
20 + 82/410 = 102/410
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 102 and 410, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
102 รท 2/410 รท 2 = 51/205
Step 5
