To add the fractions \( \frac{215}{1} + \frac{1}{3} \), we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 1 and 3 is 3.
Now, we'll convert \( \frac{215}{1} \) to have a denominator of 3:
\[
\frac{215}{1} = \frac{215 \times 3}{1 \times 3} = \frac{645}{3}
\]
Now we can add the two fractions:
\[
\frac{645}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{645 + 1}{3} = \frac{646}{3}
\]
Since \( \frac{646}{3} \) is already in its simplest form, the final answer is:
\[
\frac{646}{3}
\]
Now, we'll convert \( \frac{215}{1} \) to have a denominator of 3:
\[
\frac{215}{1} = \frac{215 \times 3}{1 \times 3} = \frac{645}{3}
\]
Now we can add the two fractions:
\[
\frac{645}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{645 + 1}{3} = \frac{646}{3}
\]
Since \( \frac{646}{3} \) is already in its simplest form, the final answer is:
\[
\frac{646}{3}
