You can change similar fractions to dissimilar ones by multiplying one of them to its equivalent. Example: 1/3 and 2/3 are similar.
2/3 = 4/6
1/3 and 4/6 are dissimilar.
Most people want to go the other way; dissimilar to similar. In that case...
Find the least common denominator. Multiply each fraction by whatever will make it the LCD.
Example: 1/30 and 1/42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
30 x 7 = 210
42 x 5 = 210
1/30 = 7/210
1/42 = 5/210
You don't.
To solve a Dissimilar Fraction,you must change the denominator to a similar fraction then proceed with the Adding/Subtracting Dissimilar Fraction...
Simplify your answer into lowest term.Do the operation.
similar fraction is the same denominator and dissimilar fraction is cannot the same denominators
The answer depends on WHAT you want to do with them.
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
The answer will depend on what you want to change them to!
Similar fractions have the same denominator, dissimilar ones don't.
Because they could be equivalent fractions as for example 3/4 is the same as 12/16
Equivalent fractions have the same value. 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8 Similar fractions have the same denominator. 3/5 is similar to 4/5 Dissimilar fractions have different denominators. 4/7 is dissimilar to 11/16
You have to convert them to equivalent similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first.
A dissimilar fraction is a fraction where the denominator is not the same as the others .
