Question
Simplify: $\frac{-8}{19}+\frac{-4}{57}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{-8}{19}+\frac{-4}{57}$ The $LCM$ of the denominator of $19$ and $57$ is $57$.
Now, We will express $\frac{-8}{19}$ in the form in which it takes denominator as $57$.
$\frac{-8}{19}=\frac{-8\times3}{19\times3}=\frac{-24}{57}$
So, $\frac{-24}{57}+\frac{-4}{57}$
$=\frac{-24-4}{57}=\frac{-28}{57}$
Now, We will express $\frac{-8}{19}$ in the form in which it takes denominator as $57$.
$\frac{-8}{19}=\frac{-8\times3}{19\times3}=\frac{-24}{57}$
So, $\frac{-24}{57}+\frac{-4}{57}$
$=\frac{-24-4}{57}=\frac{-28}{57}$
