Step-by-Step Solution: 4/35 + 2/3
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 35 and 3 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 35 × 3 = 105.

Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (12 + 70 = 82) and keep the common denominator 105 unchanged.
12 + 70/105 = 82/105
