When adding fractions with unlike denominators, you must first find a common denominator by determining the least common multiple of the denominators.
- 2
To rename a fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to create an equivalent fraction.
- 3
When the fractions have a common denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same, then check to see if you can simplify the answer.
