Sum of  

5/80

and

9/225

in Simplest Form

Given:   + , which equals   +   (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 16 and 25:
LCD = LCM(16, 25) = 400
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (400):
=   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 41 and 400 equals 1, GCF(41, 400) = 1Therefore, the Sum of  

5/80

and

9/225

is equal to

41/400

in Simplest Form:  

5/80

+

9/225

=

41/400
