To add fractions w/ common denominators, like 2/5 + 1/5, you must ONLY add the numerator, or the top numeral.
You need to find the least common multiple of their denominators.
To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, first find equivalent fractions by determining a common denominator. This typically involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator, and then you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is typically the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Next, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by adjusting the numerators accordingly. Finally, add the numerators of the converted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify if necessary.
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is usually the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Then, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by adjusting the numerators accordingly. Finally, add the numerators together while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.

They must have the same denominators.
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, which is typically the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Next, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with this common denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the necessary factors. Once both fractions have the same denominator, add their numerators together while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.
You make it into a improper fraction, then make a common denominator and remember to do what you did to the bottom to the top then solve
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
To add fractions with the same denominators, simply add together the numerators, and cancel down if necessary. For example, 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8. Cancelling this down to an improper fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 3/4.
because they are the same number
You need to make them similar: that is, making sure they have the same denominator. This would be a common multiple of the denominators of the fractions: though not necessarily the least common denominator.
