Solve the Fraction Addition: 2/8 + 2/3 Step by Step

Let's try to find the least common multiple (LCM) between 8 and 3

To find the least common multiple, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 8 and 3

In this case, the common multiple is 24

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 24

We'll multiply the first fraction by 3

We'll multiply the second fraction by 8

$\frac{2\times3}{8\times3}+\frac{2\times8}{3\times8}=\frac{6}{24}+\frac{16}{24}$

Now we'll combine and get:

$\frac{6+16}{24}=\frac{22}{24}$
