Two or more fractions having different denominators have unlike denominators. To do addition and subtraction operations with fractions, all fractions must be converted to have like denominators before the numerators can be added or subtracted. For example, 1/2 + 5/6 + 3/8 = 12/24 + 20/24 + 9/24 = 41/24 = 1 17/24
