Step-by-Step Solution: 7/22 + 2/3
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 22 and 3 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 22 × 3 = 66.

7 × 3/22 × 3 = 21/66 and 2 × 22/3 × 22 = 44/66
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (21 + 44 = 65) and keep the common denominator 66 unchanged.
21 + 44/66 = 65/66
