It depends on how you need to compare them. If you want to know which one is larger, just look at the denominator - a smaller denominator means a larger number.
If you need to add or subtract them, the only thing you can do is make the denominators equal.
Numerator, Denominator or Denominator, Numerator.
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
Rule #1 When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator. Rule # 2 When comparing fractions that have the same numerator, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator. Rule # 3 You can convert the fractions and then just put the greater than, less than or equal to sign to see what the comparison is between the fractions.
Fractions with the same numerator are called like fractions
Yes, but the numerator is different,same as adding fractions
if it has a denominator
The same numerator or the same denominator.
You do them the same way as you "do" other fractions.
If the numerator is the same, the fraction with the largest denominator has the lowest value (assuming all fractions are positive numbers).
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number
The usual rules apply: the numerator of the result is the product of the two numberators. Same for the denominator. If the numerator (for example) is a more complicated expression, you just do all the indicated operations.
Three main ways:Convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then smaller numerator = smaller fraction.Convert them to equivalent fractions with the same numerator. Then smaller denominator = larger fraction (this is useful for comparing reciprocals of integers, since the numerators are already all 1).Convert to decimals. This is essentially converting to a common denominator (bullet 1) that may be a large power of ten.
