Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of 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.
Unlike. Unlike. Unlike. Unlike.
The fastest and surest way to do that is to have a calculator that has a fraction button. (a b/c)
Like fractions have the same denominators (bottom part of fraction), unlike fractions do not.
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of 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.
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.
Multiply them by each other.
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. Then add and simplify.
Multiplying the denominators together of two or more unlike fractions will get you a common multiple.
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. Then add and simplify.
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
