1/5+1/14

Let's calculate: $\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}$

ⓘ Add fractions by using a common denominator and then adding their numerators. We choose $70$, the least common multiple of $5$ and $14$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}$ = $\frac{1\times 14}{5\times 14}+\frac{1\times 5}{14\times 5}$ = $\frac{1\times 14+1\times 5}{5\times 14}$ = $\frac{14+5}{5\times 14}$

$\frac{14+5}{5\times 14}$

ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: $14+5$ = $19$

ⅰ $5\times 14$ = $5\times (10+4)$ = $5\times 10+5\times 4$ = $50+20$ = $70$

▶Result:   $\frac{19}{70}$

The numeric value of: $\frac{19}{70}$ is:

▷ $\approx 0.2714$
