8 is the denominator
24
12
the numerator, denominator, 2 /16, 3/24, etc.
Divide the numerator by the denominator
The LCD of 1/12 and 1/8 is 24.
If you are asking one-eighth plus two-thirds then the answer is 14/16 which reduces to 7/8. Find the least common denominator (16) If you are asking one over one-eith plus two-thirds then the answer is 8 and two-thirds. This is because one over one-eighth means one divided by one eighth. You would invert the denominator (one-eighth) and multiply it to one. Eight over one is the same as eight. One times eight equals eight. Then add eight to two-thirds. This equals eight and two thirds (8 2/3).

The LCM of 5 and 8 is 40, which in this problem would be the least common denominator.
To add two-fifths and one-eighth, first find a common denominator, which is 40. Converting the fractions, two-fifths becomes 16/40 and one-eighth becomes 5/40. Adding these together gives 21/40. Therefore, two-fifths plus one-eighth equals 21/40.
Yes it does. Since it has a common denominator you can add the top numbers. 7+1= 8 and so 8/8 is 1/1 or just 1.
There is no such fraction.
You need to:* Find a common denominator (it need not be the least common denominator); * Convert both fractions to the common denominator * After that, you can simply subtract the numerators. * Check whether you can simplify the result.
