Adding FractionsAdding Fractions

To add two fractions with the same denominator

*add the numerators *place that sum over the common denominator

To add fractions with different denominators:

*find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions

*rename the fractions to have the LCD

*add the numerators of the fractions

*simplify the Fraction

Subtracting FractionsSubtracting Fractions

To subtract two fractions with the same denominator

*subtract the numerators

*place that difference over the common denominator.

To Subtract Fractions with different denominators:

*Find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions

*Rename the fractions to have the LCD

*Subtract the numerators of the fractions The difference will be the numerator and the LCD will be the denominator of the answer.

*Simplify the Fraction

Multiplying FractionsMultiplying Fractions

To Multiply Fractions:

Multiply the numerators of the fractions

Multiply the denominators of the fractions

Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators

Simplify the Fraction

Dividing FractionsDividing FractionsTo Divide Fractions:

Invert (i.e. turn over) the denominator fraction and multiply the fractions

Multiply the numerators of the fractions

Multiply the denominators of the fractions

Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators

Simplify the Fraction
