Sum of  
5/10
and
6/54
in Simplest Form

Given:  
5/10
+
6/54
, which equals  
1/2
+
1/9
  (both fractions 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 2 and 9:
LCD = LCM(2, 9) = 18
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (18):
1/2
=
9/18
  and  
1/9
=
2/18
As a result,  
1/2
+
1/9
=
9/18
+
2/18

Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
9/18
+
2/18
=
9 + 2/18
=
11/18
11/18
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 11 and 18 equals 1, GCF(11, 18) = 1
Therefore, the Sum of  
5/10
and
6/54
is equal to
11/18
in Simplest Form:  
5/10
+
6/54
=
11/18
