Step-by-Step Solution: 9/35 + 3/9
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 35 and 9 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 35 ร 9 = 315.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 9/35 by 9, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/9 by 35 so both fractions share the common base 315.
9 ร 9/35 ร 9 = 81/315 and 3 ร 35/9 ร 35 = 105/315
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (81 + 105 = 186) and keep the common denominator 315 unchanged.
81 + 105/315 = 186/315
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 186 and 315, which is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.
186 รท 3/315 รท 3 = 62/105
Step 5
