Step-by-Step Solution: 4/33 + 2/7
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 33 and 7 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 33 × 7 = 231.

4 × 7/33 × 7 = 28/231 and 2 × 33/7 × 33 = 66/231
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (28 + 66 = 94) and keep the common denominator 231 unchanged.
28 + 66/231 = 94/231
