Elaborate Solution to find Sum of Mixed Numbers 21/8 and 82/8

The given mixed numbers are 21/8 and 82/8

Converting 21/8 mix number to fraction

Given Mixed Number is 2 1/8

A Mixed Number is an addition of it's whole number and fractional parts.

The Whole Number is 2 and the fractional part is 1/8.

On adding them, they can be written as:

2/1 + 1/8

The L.C.M of the denominators 1 and 8 is 8.

The numerator of the first fraction 2 is multiplied with the denominator of the second fraction 8.

2 x 8 + 1/8

16 + 1/8

After multiplying, the numerators 16 and 1 should be added.

17/8

The fraction value we get is 17/8.

After converting the Mixed Number 2 1/8 to the Improper Fraction,the result is 17/8.

Converting 82/8 mix number to fraction

Given Mixed Number is 8 2/8

A Mixed Number is an addition of it's whole number and fractional parts.

The Whole Number is 8 and the fractional part is 2/8.

On adding them, they can be written as:

8/1 + 2/8

The L.C.M of the denominators 1 and 8 is 8.

The numerator of the first fraction 8 is multiplied with the denominator of the second fraction 8.

8 x 8 + 2/8

64 + 2/8

After multiplying, the numerators 64 and 2 should be added.

66/8

The fraction value we get is 66/8.

On simplifying the fraction,we get:

33/4

After converting the Mixed Number 8 2/8 to the Improper Fraction,the result is 33/4.

Adding fractions 17/8 and 33/4

The given fractions are 17/8 and 33/4

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 17/8 and 33/4

17/8+33/4

The LCM of 8 and 4 (denominators of the fractions) is 8
2 8, 4
2 4, 2
1, 2

So the lcm of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 1 x 2 = 8


= 17 x 1 + 33 x 2/8

= 17 + 66/8

= 83/8

Result: 83/8

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 83 ÷ 8 to get the Quotient and Remainder

83 divided by 8 using long division

The given Divisor = 8 and Dividend = 83
