First, you find the least common denominator (list the denominators multiples and find the lowest one that they have in common). Then find out how many times you must multiply the denominators to get the LCD and multiply the numerators by the same number. Put these together to make a new fraction for each. Now you have to add the numerators together, make them one numerator, put the LCD as the denominator, and simplify this final fraction.
Example:
3/8 + 5/6 = ?
8, 16, 24, 32...
6, 12, 18, 24...
8x3=24, 3x3=9 3/8= 9/24
6x4=24, 5x4=20 5/6= 20/24
9+20=29, 9/24+20/24= 29/24= 1 5/24
What else can I help you with?
How do you turn a fraction into a different fraction?
You can add or subract other fractions to it, or reduce it.
When you add or subtract two like fractions when does the final answer have a different denominator?
Never. You could write a fraction as a mixed fraction if you like and then the mixed fraction would have a different denominator (e.g.: 23/2 = 11 1/2)
How is adding mixed numbers different from adding fractions?
when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
What does finding the least common multiple have to do with finding different fraction chains to add to 1?
In general, the two are not related.
How do you add with different dinomenators?
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is typically the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Next, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by adjusting the numerators accordingly. Finally, add the numerators of the converted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify if necessary.
What To add or subtract fractions with different denominators first find equivalent fractions with what?
To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, first find equivalent fractions by determining a common denominator. This typically involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator, and then you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
How do you add fractions with the bottom numbers different?
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is usually the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Then, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by adjusting the numerators accordingly. Finally, add the numerators together while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.
How do you add a mixed fraction by a mixed fraction?
You can either add the fractional parts and, if required, convert the answer to a mixed fraction and then add the integer part to the integer parts of the two original numbers; or change both numbers to top-heavy (or improper) fractions, add them and then convert the answer to a mixed fraction.
What will happen to a fraction if you add four to the denominator?
The fraction will increase.
Why if there are two fraction having different denominator are you are going to find first their least common denominator?
To get the right answer when you add or subtract them.
How do you find a greater fraction?
Add a positive number - fraction or integer - to the given fraction.
Do you add the denominator in a fraction?
no.
