To add fractions: 1) Find a common denominator, 2) Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with the common denominator, 3) Add the numerators, 4) Simplify the result if possible.
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Then simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Simplifying a fraction means reducing it to its lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. A fraction consists of a numerator displayed above a line, and a denominator displayed below that line.
For example:
Fractions are used in many areas of mathematics and everyday life, especially for representing parts of a whole, ratios, and division.
a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd
Example: 1/4 + 1/2 = (1×2 + 1×4)/(4×2) = 6/8 = 3/4
a/b - c/d = (ad - bc)/bd
Example: 1/2 - 1/4 = (1×4 - 1×2)/(2×4) = 2/8 = 1/4
a/b × c/d = (a×c)/(b×d)
Example: 2/3 × 3/4 = (2×3)/(3×4) = 6/12 = 1/2
a/b ÷ c/d = (a×d)/(b×c)
Example: 2/3 ÷ 3/4 = (2×4)/(3×3) = 8/9
