Find the lowest common denominator
you must make the fractions equivalent and with the same denomenator
What is the definition of Adding and Subtracting Like Fractions
Anything having to do with adding or subtracting unlike fractions.
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
When adding two or more unlike fractions, yes.

I'm really sorry I've done this before but i just totally am thinking the same exact thing!
Use the LCM when you are adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Use the GCF when you are simplifying fractions.
first u find a common denominator
When adding unlike fractions, find the LCM of the denominators and convert them to it.
If you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
