They are fractions that have different denominators as for instance 3/4 and 5/8 are dissimilar fractions.
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
Without such denominators, the addition makes no sense, because you're adding different "sizes" of fraction, per se. Think of it like trying to add 5 feet and 5 inches without converting, and saying the whole thing equals 10 feet. 5 inches clearly are not the same as 5 feet (they aren't even half a foot).
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
Common multiples and common denominators can be found using the same process. They differ in their function. Common denominators are common multiples that are functioning as denominators.
Disimilar fraction.are fraction with different denominators. Similar fraction.are fraction with the same denominators.
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
Unlike or dissimilar fraction.
unlike denominators: the bottom number of a fraction. to have unlike denominators you must have two fractions with a different number on the bottom of each fraction.
Fractions with different denominators.
You find the least comon multiples of the fractions' denominators.

The Denominator is the bottom number on the fraction. The top number is called the Numerator.
They have the same numerator (1) but different denominators. Since the numerator is 1 in each fraction, it cannot be simplified therefore each unit fraction is in its simplest form. Then, because the denominators of any two of them are different the fractions must be different.
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
Fractions that are not equivalent are dissimilar fractions * * * * * The term is used more commonly to refer to fractions whose denominators are different.
