Step 1Our denominators (bottom numbers) don't match, so we can't add yet. 75 goes into 5 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator. Multiply 4 by 15, and get 60, then we multiply 5 by 15 and get 75. This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 97 + 60 = 157 So what's the answer so far?

Step 3Can this fraction be reduced? First, we attempt to divide it by 2... Nope. Try the next prime number, 3... Nope. Try the next prime number, 5... Nope. Try the next prime number, 7... Nope. Try the next prime number, 11... Nope. Try the next prime number, 13... Nope. Try the next prime number, 17... Nope. Try the next prime number, 19... Nope. Try the next prime number, 23... Nope. Try the next prime number, 29... Nope. Try the next prime number, 31... Nope. Try the next prime number, 37... Nope. Try the next prime number, 41... Nope. Try the next prime number, 43... Nope. Try the next prime number, 47... Nope. Try the next prime number, 53... Nope. Try the next prime number, 59... Nope. Try the next prime number, 61... Nope. Try the next prime number, 67... Nope.
