How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?

You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.


How do you add nonequivalent fractions?

Find a common denominator, (best is the LCM) Convert both fractions into a form with a common denominator Add numerators, keep sam common denom. Reduce.


Adding unlike fractions?

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.


Addition of fractions?

find a common denominator. Then just add across.

Why do you need a common denominator?

Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.


How do you add fractions without the same denominatior?

Find their least common denominator and convert them.


How is finding the LCM revelant when adding and subtracting fractions?
