Explanation Given information: 1 6 + 3 5 + 2 3 Formula used: Use the following steps for adding the unlike fractions. Step1: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of unlike fraction. Step2: Now raise all fractions to the terms of the LCD and make them like fractions. Step3: Then add all the numerators and place them over the original denominator. Step4: If the result is a proper fraction then reduce it to lowest term or if improper then convert it to a whole or mixed number. Now use the following steps for determining the least common denominator of two or more fractions with the use of prime numbers, Step1: Write all the denominators in a row. Step2: Now find a prime number that divides evenly into any of the denominators and then write that prime number to the left of the row and divide while placing all quotients and undivided numbers in the next row down. Step3: Repeat the above process until new row contains all ones. Step4: Multiply all the prime numbers on the left to get the LCD of the fractions. Calculation: Consider the following fraction, 1 6 + 3 5 + 2 3 As these are unlike fractions and they must be converted to like fractions to obtain the same denominator. Find the LCD. 2 6 , 5 , 3 3 3 , 5 , 3 5 1 , 5 , 1 1 , 1 , 1 The Least Common Denominator (LCD) is 2 × 3 × 5 = 30
