What is 91/1 + 2/11?

What is 91/1 + 2/11?

Here's how to add

91
1
+
2
11

Step 1

Now we need to make our denominators match.

11 goes into 1 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator.

Multiply 91 by 11, and get 1001, then we multiply 1 by 11 and get 11.

91/1 times 11

This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

1001
11
+
2
11

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

1001 + 2 = 1003

That gives us an answer of

1003
11

Step 3

Can this fraction be reduced?

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

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 13...

No good. 13 is larger than 11. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! Here's the final answer to 91/1 + 2/11

91
1
+

1003
