What is 91/1 + 5/11?

This is how we add

Step 1

Now we need to make our denominators match.

Since 1 is evenly divided by 11, we can multiply just one term to get a common denominator.

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

So now our fractions look like this:

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

1001 + 5 = 1006

Now we have an answer.

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing 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 + 5/11
