Frequently Asked Questions

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), convert both fractions, then add numerators. Example: 1/3 + 1/4 → LCD=12 → 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12.
Multiply numerators together and denominators together: (a/b) × (c/d) = (a×c)/(b×d). Then simplify the result.
Flip the second fraction (reciprocal) and multiply: (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c) = (a×d)/(b×c).
