Frequently Asked Questions
How do we add fractions with different denominators?
First, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators to convert them into like fractions, then add their numerators.
What is the difference between a numerator and a denominator?
The numerator is the top number showing how many parts we have, and the denominator is the bottom number showing total equal parts.
How do I convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction?
Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number, the remainder becomes the numerator, and the divisor remains the denominator.
