To add the fractions \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{6}\), follow these steps:

1. **Find a common denominator**:  
   The denominators are 3 and 6. The least common denominator (LCD) is 6.

2. **Convert the fractions** to have the same denominator:
   - \(\frac{2}{3}\) can be converted to a fraction with a denominator of 6 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
     \[
     \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6}
     \]
   - \(\frac{1}{6}\) is already with a denominator of 6, so it remains \(\frac{1}{6}\).

3. **Add the fractions**:
   \[
   \frac{4}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4 + 1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}
   \]

So, \(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}\).
