Simplify $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5}$

Open in App

Solution

Step 1. Find LCM of $3$ and $5$

$L C M = 3 x 5 = 15$
LCM of $3$ and $5$ is $15$
Step 2. Therefore ,
$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 x 5 + 1 x 3}{15} = \frac{5 + 3}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$ $S i n c e 15 \div 3 = 5; 1 x 5 15 \div 5 = 3; 1 x 3$
