Step-by-Step Solution: 4/13 + 3/7
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 13 and 7 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 13 × 7 = 91.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/13 by 7, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/7 by 13 so both fractions share the common base 91.
4 × 7/13 × 7 = 28/91 and 3 × 13/7 × 13 = 39/91
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (28 + 39 = 67) and keep the common denominator 91 unchanged.
28 + 39/91 = 67/91
Step 4
