There are two main methods.
The first is to use the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators to change both fractions to the same denominator. After that, it is simple:the bigger numerator belongs to the bigger fraction.
The other method is to cross multiply and compare products.
If you want to compare A/B and C/D, then compare AD and BC instead. The numerator of the bigger fraction is in the bigger multiple (shown in bold):
If AD is bigger, then A/B is bigger while if BC is bigger then C/D is bigger.
To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, first find equivalent fractions by determining a common denominator. This typically involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator, and then you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
You need to find the least common multiple of their denominators.
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is typically the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Next, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by adjusting the numerators accordingly. Finally, add the numerators of the converted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify if necessary.

Find the least common denominator and convert them to equivalent fractions so that the denominators are the same. Choose the one with the greatest denominator.
You find the least comon multiples of the fractions' denominators.

If its a fraction then we can change the numerators and denominators upside down .This is in case of fraction.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same (eg. 11/6 - 7/6) you just subtract the numerators (top numbers) eg. 11-7=4 so 4/6. If the denominators are different you have to find equivalent fractions where the denominators are the same.

multiply the nominator and denominator of each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction

first simplify the fraction then multiply the denominators times the numerators and see if they are equal
Yes, 'fractions' with different numerators can be added, but not with different denominators. In the case where you have different denominators, you must find the LCM (lowest common multiple).
