What extra step will you have to perform if you do not use the least common denominator when adding fractions?
To add fractions, you have to find their common denominator by multiplying the two denominators together and one of the numerators to the others. Then you add just the top numbers together.
How to do two step equations with fractions?
By eliminating the fractions
How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
How to add fractions having similar numerators but different denominators?
The first step, to add, subtract, or compare fractions, is always to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions, that all have the same denominator. You can use one of several techniques to get the LEAST common denominator, or simply multiply the two denominators to get a common denominator (which in this case may, or may not, be the smallest common denominator).
How do I add improper fractions?
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
How you use the algorithm when multiplying fractions by fractions?

How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
Why find factor?
Finding factors is the first step in finding the GCF and the LCM. They will help you to reduce fractions, or add and subtract them.

No.
When you add fractions do you flip improper fractions around?
no
