Mostly,some children use multiplication. Here is an example: 1/6 + 1/4.You see, the denominators are different. Multiply 1/6 with the denominator of 1/4 which is 4.If you did it, you will get 4/24.If you didn't, multiply again. Make sure you know you Times Tables. Now, do the same thing with 1/4.Multiply the denominator of 1/6 with 1/4 and you will get:6/24.NOW the denominators are the same. Finally, you know what to do. Add them up and you'll get:10/24.And I almost forgot: you may have to simplify.10 and 24 are EVEN. So divide them by 2 and get:5/12.5 is ODD. So, it cannot go down more. You will also call that: "A Fraction in it's Simplest Form". If you wanna do more, here are 4 more:4/10 + 5/6. 7/8 + 2/4. 2/3 + 3/4. 6/6 + 1/2.

How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
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.
Adding unlike fractions?

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.
What is a unlike fraction?
You must have 2 fractions or more to have unlike fractions. They are fractions with different denominators such as 7/8 and 1/2. Like fractions would have the same denominator like 7/8 and 4/8.
Adding fractions with different denominators?
You need to change the denominators so they are the same ( by timesing them together) E.g. 1/7 1/2 7x2=14
When adding or subtracting two fractions with denominators that are not equal what is the first step you take?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, the first step is to find a common denominator. This involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Once you have a common denominator, you can then add or subtract the numerators of the fractions accordingly.
