Sum of  

4/15

and

26/15

in Simplest Form

Given:   +
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
+ = = However,    is NOT in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 30 does not equal 1, GCF(15, 30) ≠ 1
Upon inspection, the GCF(15, 30) = 15In Simplest Form,   = = = 2
Therefore, the Sum of  

4/15

and

26/15

is equal to 2 in Simplest Form:  

4/15

+

26/15

= 2
