Step-by-Step Solution: 4/22 + 4/13
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 22 and 13 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 22 ร 13 = 286.

4 ร 13/22 ร 13 = 52/286 and 4 ร 22/13 ร 22 = 88/286
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (52 + 88 = 140) and keep the common denominator 286 unchanged.
52 + 88/286 = 140/286
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 140 and 286, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
140 รท 2/286 รท 2 = 70/143
Step 5
