(4/7) + (1/3) = 0.9047619047619 which = 19/21

now list the factors of the numerator and the denominator

19 = 1
—-
21 = 1; 3; 7

They both have a common factor of 1.

Divide 19 by its common factor
19/1 = 1

Divide 21 by its common factor
21/1 = 21

So the simplest form is 19/21
Hope that helps!! :)

Explanation:


lcm \: = 21(7 * 3) \\ (4 * 3)/(7 * 3) + (1 * 7)/( 3 * 7) \\ simplify \\ (12)/(21) + (7)/(21) \\ \\ (12 + 7)/(21) \\ \\ (19)/(21) \\ answer \: (19)/(21)
