What is 9/17 + 78/92?

Here's how to add

Step 1We can't add two fractions with different denominators (the bottom number). So you need to get a common denominator - both bottom numbers need to match. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator. So we multiply 9 by 92, and get 828, then we multiply 17 by 92 and get 1564. Do the same for the second term. We multiply 78 by 17, and get 1326, then multiply 17 by 92 and get 1564. So now our fractions look like this:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 828 + 1326 = 2154 Now we have an answer.

Step 3Last 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... Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:
