What is 78/73 + 7/11?

What is 78/73 + 7/11?

Let's add

78
73
+
7
11

Step 1

We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator.

Now we multiply 78 by 11, and get 858, then we multiply 73 by 11 and get 803.

78/73 times 11

Now for the second term. You multiply 7 by 73, and get 511, then multiply 73 by 11 and get 803.

7/11 times 73

This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

858
803
+
511
803

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

858 + 511 = 1369

That gives us an answer of

1369
803

Step 3

Can this fraction be reduced?

First, we attempt to divide it by 2...

No good. 809 is larger than 803. So we're done reducing.

Congratulations! Here's your final answer to 78/73 + 7/11
