Note: numerator is the top part of the fraction, denominator is the bottom part.
1) Find a common denominator. It may be the least common denominator, but it need not be; just multiplying the denominators also gives you a common denominator, not necessarily the smallest one.
2) Convert each fraction so that it has this common denominator. This means multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number.
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.
Their denominators. If they are the same, the fractions are similar. If they are not the same, the fractions are dissimilar.
Similar fractions have the same value. Dissimilar ones don't.
Similar fractions have the same denominator, dissimilar ones don't.
similar fraction is the same denominator and dissimilar fraction is cannot the same denominators
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
Well, similar means the same and dissimilar means different, so the difference is that they are different.
Finding the lowest common denominator
Convert them to decimals or Convert them to similar fractions
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
For adding or substracting fractions first of all we should calculate the LCM( Lowest Common Multiplier) of the denominators in both of the fractions.
The answer is...Similar fractions are fractions that has the same Denominator.Example:1/6+4/6Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different Denominator.Example:6/12-9/10
