A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in the fraction 1/2, 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator.

What does it mean to add fractions with different denominators?

Back

To add fractions with different denominators, you must first find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with that common denominator, and then add the numerators.

Front

How do you subtract fractions?

Back

To subtract fractions, ensure they have the same denominator. If they don't, find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then subtract the numerators.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

Back

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction.

Front

What is a common denominator?

Back

A common denominator is a shared multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions. It is used to add or subtract fractions.

Front

What is the least common multiple (LCM)?

Back

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple that two or more numbers share. It is often used to find a common denominator.

Front

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

Back

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.
