FAQ
- How do I add fractions with different denominators?
- Find the least common denominator (LCD), convert each fraction to have that denominator, then add the numerators. Example: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
- How do I multiply fractions?
- Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Example: 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2.
- How do I divide fractions?
- Flip the second fraction (reciprocal) and multiply. Example: 2/3 ÷ 1/2 = 2/3 × 2/1 = 4/3.
