Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
multiply the denominators
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.
You use them when there are 2 fractions with different denominators.
Because trying to add them without a common denominator would yield an incorrect answer.
