1. Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
   LCM of 2 and 7 is 14
2. For the 1st fraction, since 2 × 7 = 14,
   8/2 = 8 × 7/2 × 7 = 56/14
3. Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 7 × 2 = 14,
   3/7 = 3 × 2/7 × 2 = 6/14
4. Add the two fractions:
   56/14 + 6/14 = 56 + 6/14 = 62/14
