Sum of  
1/6
and
65/9
in Simplest Form

Given:  
1/6
+
65/9

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 6 and 9:
LCD = LCM(6, 9) = 18
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (18):
1/6
=
3/18
  and  
65/9
=
130/18
As a result,  
1/6
+
65/9
=
3/18
+
130/18

Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
3/18
+
130/18
=
3 + 130/18
=
133/18
133/18
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 18 and 133 equals 1, GCF(18, 133) = 1
Therefore, the Sum of  
1/6
and
65/9
is equal to
133/18
in Simplest Form:  
1/6
+
65/9
=
133/18
Note:
133/18
is an improper fraction, and as a mixed number,  
133/18
= 7
7/18
