The Lowest Common Denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions.
adding fractions is like adding a WHOLE lot of parts of numbers
When adding or subtracting fractions their denominators must be the same
Ensure that the denominators are the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
Adding dissimilar fractions involves finding a common denominator for the fractions before adding them together. This common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions being added. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.
