How to Add or Subtract Fractions?

Check to see if the fractions have the same denominator.

If they don't have the same denominator, then convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

Step1： Find the least common denominator

Step2：For your first fraction, find what number you need to multiply the denominator by to result in the least common denominator

Step3：Multiply the numerator and denominator of your first fraction by that number

Step4：Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each fraction

Once they have the same denominator, add or subtract the numbers in the numerator.

Step5：For addition equations, add the fraction numerators

Step6：For subtraction equations, subtract the fraction numerators

Step7：Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers

Step8：Reduce the fraction to lowest terms

Examples:

addition:

3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 = 1

3/4 + 1/3 = 3/4 * 3/3 + 1/3 * 4/4 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 =1 1/12

subtraction:

3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 =1/2

3/4 - 1/3 = 3/4 * 3/3 - 1/3 * 4/4 = 9/12 - 3/12 = 6/12 = 1/2

How to Multiply Fractions?

Step1：Multiply all numerators together

Step2：Multiply all denominators together

Step3：Reduce the result to lowest terms

Examples:

multiplication:

3/4 * 1/4 = (3*1)/(4*4) = 3/16

How to Divide Fractions?

Step1：Keep the first fraction

Step2：Change the division sign to multiplication

Step3：Flip the second fraction by switching the top and bottom numbers

Step4：Multiply all numerators together

Step5：Multiply all denominators together

Step6：Reduce the result to lowest terms

Examples:

division:

3/4 ÷ 1/4 = 3/4 * 4/1 = (3*4)/(4*1) = 12/4 = 3
