What is 91/6 + 2/6?

Here's how to add

91
6
+
2
6

Step 1

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

91 + 2 = 93

That gives us an answer of

93
6

Step 2

Can this fraction be reduced?

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

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

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 3? Yes! So we reduce it:

93
6
÷ 3 =
31
2

Let's try dividing by that again...

No good. 3 is larger than 2. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! Here's the final answer to 91/6 + 2/6

91
6
