\[ 26.23 = \frac{2623}{100} = 26.23 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{26}{1}\) and \(\frac{23}{100}\) is \(100\). \[ \begin{aligned} 26.23 &= \frac{26 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{23 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2600 + 23}{100} \\ &= \frac{2623}{100} \end{aligned} \]
