Step-by-Step Solution: 2/9 + 6/14
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 9 and 14 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 9 ร 14 = 126.
LCD(9, 14) = 126

2 ร 14/9 ร 14 = 28/126 and 6 ร 9/14 ร 9 = 54/126
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (28 + 54 = 82) and keep the common denominator 126 unchanged.
28 + 54/126 = 82/126
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 82 and 126, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
82 รท 2/126 รท 2 = 41/63
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
