A rational fraction.
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
To add fraction with different denominators, you want to move both fractions to a common denominator. You can do this by multiplying each fraction by the a fraction whose numerator and denominator is the same as the opposing fractions denominator. Example: 7 / 8 + 1 / 2 Multiply each fraction by the other fractions denominator over itself. This will work without changing the value because x / x = 1. (7 / 8 ) * ( 2 / 2 ) + ( 1 / 2 ) * ( 8 / 8) Simplify. 14 /16 + 8 / 16 Now just add the numerators together. 24 / 16 Simplify 3 / 2 or 1 1/2 You can also use any other numbers that will get your denominators to the same place. Remember, x / x = 1. And multiplying by 1 doesn't effect the value of the fraction.
1/10 + 3/10 + 6/10 = 1 2/10+3/10 + 5/10 = 1
1/10 , 3/10 , 6/10 . Their sum is (1+3+6)/10 = 10/10 = 1
First you find a common multiple of the denominators. The least common denominator is handy but not essential. This number will be the denominator of the answer - before simplification.For both fractions find an equivalent fraction whose denominator is this common denominator.Carry out the subtraction on the new numerators to give the numerator of the answer.Simplify the result for the final, simplified answer.First you find a common multiple of the denominators.

A percentage is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100.A percentage is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100.A percentage is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100.A percentage is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100.
Yes.
There can be no greatest common denominator. If you have a set a numbers whose least common denominator is L then 2*L, 3*L, … are all common denominators. There is no end to that sequence and so no greatest.
A rational fraction.
Fractions whose denominator is 1.
I think you probably mean fractions whose denominator is zero. This is because you can't divide by zero.
The concept of common denominator makes sense to numbers whose denominators are integers. If the context of fractions, any denominator is divisible by any other [non-zero] number.
You first find equivalent fractions whose denominators are a common multiple of the different denominators. Teachers like you to use the least common denominator: that is not necessary although it can result in your working with smaller numbers and so make things easier.
simplest form
Fractions that are greater than one are known as improper or 'top-heavy' fractions as the numerator is greater than the denominator.
A fraction with denominator 10 must have an odd numerator for otherwise its numerator and denominator would have 2 as a common factor and it would be simplified so that it would no longer have 10 as a denominator. So you are adding two odd numerators, both with 10 as the denominator. The sum of two odds is always even, so the result will be an even sum with 10 as the denominator. So in the answer, 2 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator and the answer can be simplified. If there is no other common factor, then the answer must have a denominator of 5.
