What is the value of
12+23+34+45+56 ?
Give your answer as a fraction
The LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is 60.
So, rewrite all fraction with denominator 60.
12+23+34+45+56=3060+4060+4560+4860+5060=30+40+45+48+5060=21360NOTE: For GRE questions that require you to enter a fraction, all equivalent fractions are correct. So, for example, if the answer is 1/2, you'll get the question right if you enter 3/6, 5/10, 1/2, 222/444, etc
So, we need not risk incorrectly simplifying
