Step-by-Step Solution: 7/33 + 2/4
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 33 and 4 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 33 × 4 = 132.
LCD(33, 4) = 132
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 132
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 7/33 by 4, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/4 by 33 so both fractions share the common base 132.
7 × 4/33 × 4 = 28/132 and 2 × 33/4 × 33 = 66/132
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (28 + 66 = 94) and keep the common denominator 132 unchanged.
28 + 66/132 = 94/132
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 94 and 132, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
94 ÷ 2/132 ÷ 2 = 47/66
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
Dividing the numerator 47 by denominator 66 produces a repeating decimal (approximately 0.712121, or 71.2121%).
47 ÷ 66 = 0.712121 (71.2121%)
