Sum of  

5/6

and

2/15

in Simplest Form

Given:   +
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 15:
LCD = LCM(6, 15) = 30
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (30):
=   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 29 and 30 equals 1, GCF(29, 30) = 1Therefore, the Sum of  

5/6

and

2/15

is equal to

29/30

in Simplest Form:  

5/6

+

2/15

=

29/30
