It is possible to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, but one or both of the fractions must be rewritten so that the denominators are the same (making them equivalent fractions. Finding the least common multiple (LCM) is very helpful in determining how the two fractions may be...
What you’ll learn to do: Add and subtract fractions with different denominatorsDoes Maria have enough sugar to make her favorite coffee cake?Have you ever needed to add or subtract fractions with different denominators? One place this often comes up is in the kitchen. For example,...
As students explore the concept of adding fractions, they should begin to see that a common denominator will always be the product of the two denominators. What to look for If the denominators do not have a common factor, the rectangles in both unit squares are congruent. If the denominators...

What do we do then when adding fractions with different denominators?When the denominators are different. you need to find equivalent fractions that give a common denominator for both fractions. All you need to do is the look for the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. ...
Step 1:Check whether the given fractions are like or unlike fractions. Find out whether the denominators are the same. Step 2:If the denominator is the same, find the sum of the numerators and place the sum over the common denominator. Simplify the final fraction if required. ...
