\n\n\n\n Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdding fractions is a fundamental operation in arithmetic and algebra. When two fractions have different denominators, you cannot add them directly. Instead, you must first find a common denominator so that the fractions represent parts of the same whole. This is similar to needing the same type of unit before combining quantities (like you can’t directly add 3 inches and 2 centimeters without converting one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this problem, the fractions are 16\\frac{1}{6}61\u200b and 58\\frac{5}{8}85\u200b. Their denominators are different, so we need to find a least common denominator (LCD)<\/strong>, which is the smallest number that both denominators divide evenly into. For 6 and 8, the smallest common multiple is 24. This becomes our new common denominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce the common denominator is determined, each fraction is rewritten with that denominator. To convert a fraction to an equivalent fraction with a new denominator, multiply both its numerator and denominator by the same number. This maintains the value of the fraction while allowing it to be compared or combined with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, 16\\frac{1}{6}61\u200b becomes 424\\frac{4}{24}244\u200b and 58\\frac{5}{8}85\u200b becomes 1524\\frac{15}{24}2415\u200b. Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we simply add the numerators and keep the denominator: 4+15=194 + 15 = 194+15=19, giving the final answer 1924\\frac{19}{24}2419\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fraction is already in its simplest form, since 19 and 24 have no common factors other than 1. Therefore, the sum of 16\\frac{1}{6}61\u200b and 58\\frac{5}{8}85\u200b is 1924\\frac{19}{24}2419\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-775.jpeg\")

Once the common denominator is determined, each fraction is rewritten with that denominator. To convert a fraction to an equivalent fraction with a new denominator, multiply both its numerator and denominator by the same number. This maintains the value of the fraction while allowing it to be compared or combined with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, 16\\frac{1}{6}61\u200b becomes 424\\frac{4}{24}244\u200b and 58\\frac{5}{8}85\u200b becomes 1524\\frac{15}{24}2415\u200b. Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we simply add the numerators and keep the denominator: 4+15=194 + 15 = 194+15=19, giving the final answer 1924\\frac{19}{24}2419\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This fraction is already in its simplest form, since 19 and 24 have no common factors other than 1. Therefore, the sum of 16\\frac{1}{6}61\u200b and 58\\frac{5}{8}85\u200b is 1924\\frac{19}{24}2419\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Part B Find the sum of 1\/6 and 5\/8. Enter the numerator followed by the denominator separated by a comma.
