Here's an example. Let's take 2 fracts 2/ 3 and 3/6. It should look like 2/3+3/6 on paper. The LCD is what we need to find out.

To find the LCD, start multiplying both the sides of 2/3 by 2.

2*2=4 and 2*3=6. This will bring our fraction to 4/6.

The problem becomes 4/6+3/6.

Since 6 is the LCD, we don't need to add that, just the top portion is enough.

That way, 4+3 equals 7.

The answer we get is 7/6. We can convert this to a whole number. 6/6 is 1. The remainder portion that goes into the fraction: 1 1/6.

Happy to help you.
