convert the fractions so the denominators are the same if they aren't already. then add the numerators, but keep the denominator the same.
Numerators
There are an infinite number of correct answers.The two fractions areany number/any denominatorandthe same denominator minus the first number/the same denominator
add the top two, and the bottom stays the same... for example. 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3
You add two fractions with a different denominator by multiplying the denominators by a number that will make them equal. Be sure to multiply the numerator by that number too.

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.
Numerators
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.

To find the sum of two mixed numbers, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions (multiply the base with the denominator and add the numerator), then add the two fractions. To add the two fractions, find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and add the two numerators, but leave the denominators the same.
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to add, subtract, or compare two fractions, they need to have the same 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.
A "common denominator"
