Step-by-Step Solution: 7/25 + 2/4

Step 1

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The denominators 25 and 4 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 25 × 4 = 100.
LCD(25, 4) = 100
Step 2

Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 100

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 7/25 by 4, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/4 by 25 so both fractions share the common base 100.
7 × 4/25 × 4 = 28/100   and   2 × 25/4 × 25 = 50/100
Step 3

Add the Numerators

Now add the numerators (28 + 50 = 78) and keep the common denominator 100 unchanged.
28 + 50/100 = 78/100
Step 4

Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms

Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 78 and 100, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
78 ÷ 2/100 ÷ 2 = 39/50
Step 5
