Fractions:

Today let me give you some learning on the basics operations of fractions. Let us start with subtracting and adding fraction. You can easily add or subtract like fractions means simply add or subtract the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.

 If you find difficulty with dealing unlike fraction then go through math problem solver. Definitely this will help you.



But before adding or subtracting unlike fractions you must find equivalent fraction with the same denominator like this: First find the smallest multiple of both numbers and then rewrite the fractions as equivalent fraction with the LCM as the denominator. When dealing with the fractions LCM is nothing but the Least Common denominator. We cam easily deal problems on proper fraction. Examples of adding and subtracting fractions:

4/13 + 2/13 = 6/13, 12/10 + 20/10 = 13/10.

Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators has little long procedure For example add 5/4 + 2/3
First convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction with the same denominator 12 be the equivalent denominator for 3 and 4
So (5*3 )/12 + (2*4)/12 = 15/12 + 8/12 = 23/12


Subtraction:(5*3 )/12 - (2*4)/12 = 15/12 - 8/12 = 7/12
