HOW TO ADD FRACTION WHEN THE DENOMINATOR IS NOT THE SAME
WORKING ON THE IMPROPER FRACTION Start by finding least common multiple or LCM for a denominator. This is because it is important to ensure that the denominator is the same and to add the fraction afterwards, finding the common multiple which they are sharing and then go for the lowest.
MULTIPLY A NUMERATOR WITH THE DENOMINATOR IN ORDER TO GET DENOMINATORS THAT LOOK ALIKE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MULTIPLY AN ENTIRE FRACTION IN ORDER TO MAKE DENOMINATORS WHICH MAY BECOME A LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE.
TURN ANOTHER FRACTION IN ITS EQUIVALENT FRACTION AND THEN REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ADJUST 1 FRACTION IN THE PROBLEM, YOU WILL NEED TO ADJUST ALL OTHER FRACTION SO THAT THEY MAY BECOME THE EQUIVALENT OF THE ORIGINAL TASK.
YOU CAN ADD THE NUMERATOR; HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD LEAVE A DENOMINATOR ALONE. WHEN THE DENOMINATORS HAVE BECOME THE SAME, YOU SHOULD ADD NUMERATORS AND PUT AN ANSWER OF A DENOMINATOR.
SIMPLIFY OR REDUCE AN ANSWER WHEN NEEDED: WHEN THE ANSWER IS NOT PROPER, IT IS EASY TO TURN A FRACTION IN THE MIXED NUMBER. IN DOING THIS, THE PERSON SHOULD DIVIDE A NUMERATOR USING A DENOMINATOR IN ORDER TO GET THE WHOLE NUMBER.
HE CAN THEN SEE THE NUMBER OF THE PARTS WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT AND THEN PLACE SUCH NUMBER OVER A DENOMINATOR. A REDUCED FRACTION WILL BE SIMPLIFIED EVEN FURTHER.
BY ADDING THE MIXED NUMBER
LOOK FOR A LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR WHEN NEEDED: IF THE DENOMINATOR IS THE NOT THE SAME, THE USER WILL HAVE TO WRITE DOWN DIFFERENT MULTIPLES OF EVERY DENOMINATOR IN ORDER TO FIND THE NUMBER THAT THEY ARE HAVING IN COMMON.
IT IS GOOD TO MAKE A FRACTION EQUIVALENT IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS DENOMINATORS. THE DENOMINATOR HAS TO BECOME LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE WHICH YOU CAN FIND. THE WHOLE FRACTION HAS TO BE MULTIPLIED BY A CERTAIN NUMBER TO GET THE DENOMINATOR TO BECOME COMMON MULTIPLE BUT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE.
CHANGING OF THE FRACTION WITHIN THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO MAKE IT BE EQUIVALENT. WHEN ANOTHER FACTION IN THE EQUATION HAS MANY DENOMINATORS, THE USER HAS TO MULTIPLY THEM SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE SAME DENOMINATOR. WHEN THE FRACTION HAS ITS OWN DENOMINATOR, YOU SHOULD NOT ADJUST ITS FRACTION.
ADD A NUMERATOR SO THAT THE DENOMINATOR CAN CONTINUE TO BE ONE: WHEN THE DENOMINATOR IS THE SAME, THEN IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO ADD ONLY THE NUMERATORS LEAVING ALONE THE DENOMINATORS.
