Sum of  

1/15

and

7/35

in Simplest Form

Given:   + , which equals   +   (second fraction simplified)
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 5 and 15:
LCD = LCM(5, 15) = 15
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (15):
=   and   = As a result,   + = +
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
+ = = is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 15 equals 1, GCF(4, 15) = 1Therefore, the Sum of  

1/15

and

7/35

is equal to

4/15

in Simplest Form:  

1/15

+

7/35

=

4/15
