The first step to take is find the lowest common denominator of the fractions which can be done by finding the lowest common multiple of the numbers.
You need to find a common denominator. Then you need to convert them to equivalent fractions with this common denominator.
Yes, because for any x and y that are positive fractions (y not equal to zero), x/y is also a positive fraction. Note that whole numbers are considered fractions with denominators of 1 -- otherwise it doesn't work.
When there are different denominators in fractions, to add them, it is necessary to find a common denominator. Usually this occurs by multiplying them, such as 1/3 + 1/2 would equal 2/6 + 3/6, which becomes 5/6.
denominator must be equal that you can perform easy operation in them
This is done when subtracting mixed fractions. Here you subtract the whole part and the fractional part separately; but if you have a case such as, for example, 5 2/6 - 3 3/6 in the first number, you can "borrow" one whole, which in this case is equal to 6/6; that is, you subtract it from the whole part and add it to the fractional part, thus converting the subtraction to: 4 8/6 - 3 3/6 Now you should have no trouble subtracting the whole part and the fractional part separately.
it works when comparing fractions by multiplying the fractions to see whitch one is greater not greater and equal
You multiply the fractions until the denominators are equal. Then, you subtract.
Same as for adding: If the denominators are not equal, you must first find a common denominator, then convert both fractions to that common denominator.
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are not equal, making equivalent fractions of them so that the denominators are equal. With the denominators equal if the numerators (top numbers) are equal, then the fractions are equal.
When subtracting one fraction to another, one or both fractions are renamed so that they have the same denominators. Then the result of the subtraction is the equal to the subtraction of the numerators divided by the common denominator.
adding and subtracting fractions is what it means. also it is definitions
Because to add fractions, the denominators must be equal.
Equivalent fractions.
They are known as equivalent fractions
Improper fractions have numerators that are greater than or equal to their denominators.
equal fractions
In actual problems, we convert two (or more) fractions so that they have equal denominators.
Because when adding or subtracting fractions the denominators must be the same by finding the lowest common denominator and changing the numerator accordingly so 1/2+1/3 becomes 3/6+2/6 = 5/6
