To find the common denominator of two fractions, you find the least common multiple of the denominators. The multiply the numerators by whatever you multiplied the denominator by to get an equivalent fraction.
example:
1 + 2 = 10
3 4 12
the least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12 so,
4 + 6 = 10
12 12 12 which can be reduced to the answer of 5
