Step-by-Step Solution: 2/41 + 2/22
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 41 and 22 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 41 ร 22 = 902.
LCD(41, 22) = 902
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 902
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/41 by 22, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/22 by 41 so both fractions share the common base 902.
2 ร 22/41 ร 22 = 44/902 and 2 ร 41/22 ร 41 = 82/902
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (44 + 82 = 126) and keep the common denominator 902 unchanged.
44 + 82/902 = 126/902
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 126 and 902, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
126 รท 2/902 รท 2 = 63/451
Step 5
