You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.
When the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction but if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
A common denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators.
Two ways: If they're unlike fractions, convert them to like fractions with a common denominator and compare numerators. Convert them to decimals by dividing their denominators into their numerators and see which is greater.
A fraction is greater than one if the the top number (numerator) is greater than the lower number (denominator).

if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
That Would be a Terminating Fraction i think.
If you mean the steps, they are as follows:* Identify a common denominator. Any common denominator will do. * Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions, with the common denominator found in the previous step. (If the fractions start off with the same denominator, there is nothing else to do in these first two steps.) * Add the numerators. That's the numerator of the result. Copy the common denominator as the denominator of the result. * Check whether you can simplify the resulting fraction.
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
Convert the fractions to a common denominator, then compare.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.

Not always. If one denominator is a multiple of the other, the LCD will be the larger one.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.
