Step-by-Step Solution: 4/34 + 2/3
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 34 and 3 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 34 ร 3 = 102.
LCD(34, 3) = 102
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 102
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/34 by 3, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 34 so both fractions share the common base 102.
4 ร 3/34 ร 3 = 12/102 and 2 ร 34/3 ร 34 = 68/102
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (12 + 68 = 80) and keep the common denominator 102 unchanged.
12 + 68/102 = 80/102
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 80 and 102, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
80 รท 2/102 รท 2 = 40/51
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
Dividing the numerator 40 by denominator 51 produces a repeating decimal (approximately 0.784314, or 78.4314%).
40 รท 51 = 0.784314 (78.4314%)
