Solve Fraction Addition: 1/7 + 1/3 Step-by-Step

Let's try to find the lowest common denominator between 7 and 3

To find the lowest common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 7 and 3

In this case, the common denominator is 21

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 21

We'll multiply the first fraction by 3

We'll multiply the second fraction by 7

$\frac{1\times3}{7\times3}+\frac{1\times7}{3\times7}=\frac{3}{21}+\frac{7}{21}$

Now we'll combine and get:

$\frac{3+7}{21}=\frac{10}{21}$
