Step-by-Step Solution: 9/41 + 3/9
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 41 and 9 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 41 ร 9 = 369.

Now add the numerators (81 + 123 = 204) and keep the common denominator 369 unchanged.
81 + 123/369 = 204/369
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 204 and 369, which is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.
204 รท 3/369 รท 3 = 68/123
Step 5
