What happens to the denominator when you add fractions?

You must find a common denominator. You figure out the smallest number that all of your denominators are divisible by. If you have to multiply the denominators by 2, you must multiply the numerators by 2, then add the numerators together, and write above the common denominator. If you have to multiply one denominator to equal the other denominator, then you must multiply the numerator above that denominator, and finally add up the numerators and place above the common denominator. Then reduce the answer to its smallest fraction.
