What else can I help you with?
How do you reduce fractions to simplest terms?
You divide both the numerator and denominator by a common multiple.
How do you get the common denominator for dividing fractions?
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
How do you get the common denominator in dividing fraction?
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
Do you need a common denominator for all fractions before doing the order of operations?
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
What is halfway between 1 over 4 and 1 over 2?
Just add the fractions, and divide by 2. Before adding, you have to convert to a common denominator; in this case, you can use "4" as the common denominator.Just add the fractions, and divide by 2.

What is a number into which the denominators will divide evenly?
A multiple of the denominator.
How to simplify fractions?
Find the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator, then divide the numerator by the GCF, and that is the new numerator. Divide the denominator by the GCF, and that is the new denominator.
What must you find in order to add or subtract unlike fractions?
A common denominator. The best way is to find the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of all the denominators - the smallest number into which all the denominators will divide. (The easiest way to do this is to multiply all the different denominators together. Once this common denominator has been found, convert all the fractions into equivalent fractions with this new denominator.
How do you divide fractions with common denominators?
you flip the last (second) fraction, and then you change the divide sign into a times sign. You can then times the fractions from there. You do not need the same denominator to times fractions.
Why is it important to find the LCM and HCF with numbers?
They have several applications. To add, subtract, or just compare two fractions, you need to convert both fractions to a common denominator. The least common multiple is usually used, although any common multiple would work in this particular case (e.g., just multiplying the two denominators). To simplify a fraction, you divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. If you divide them by the greatest common factor, no further simplifications are possible.
How to compare fractions?
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
One may add subtractmultiply and divide fractions once one has found the?
Common denominator
