There are two main methods.
The first is to use the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators to change both fractions to the same denominator. After that, it is simple:the bigger numerator belongs to the bigger fraction.
The other method is to cross multiply and compare products.
If you want to compare A/B and C/D, then compare AD and BC instead. The numerator of the bigger fraction is in the bigger multiple (shown in bold):
If AD is bigger, then A/B is bigger while if BC is bigger then C/D is bigger.
You need to find the least common multiple of their denominators.
Find the least common denominator and convert them to equivalent fractions so that the denominators are the same. Choose the one with the greatest denominator.
Yes, 'fractions' with different numerators can be added, but not with different denominators. In the case where you have different denominators, you must find the LCM (lowest common multiple).
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
You find the least comon multiples of the fractions' denominators.
If its a fraction then we can change the numerators and denominators upside down .This is in case of fraction.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same (eg. 11/6 - 7/6) you just subtract the numerators (top numbers) eg. 11-7=4 so 4/6. If the denominators are different you have to find equivalent fractions where the denominators are the same.
You need to find the least common multiple of their denominators.
multiply the nominator and denominator of each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction
Find the least common denominator and convert them to equivalent fractions so that the denominators are the same. Choose the one with the greatest denominator.
first simplify the fraction then multiply the denominators times the numerators and see if they are equal

You need at least two denominators to find something in common between them.
First, multiply the numerators and write the product of the numerators above a fraction bar. Next, multiply the denominators and write that product underneath the fraction bar. You don't have to find a common denominator. You do, however, have to reduce your answer to simplest terms.
