Adding

Simplify/Reduce

Find the LCM of both denominators.

Multiply numerator and denominator of each fraction by the factor that helps create common denominators.

Add the numerators of your fractionsand keep the common denominator

Compare the prime factorization of yournumerator and denominator to find theGCF of your numerator and denominator.Divide by the GCF to simplify answer.

Turn to your neighbor and tell them what

the first step would be when adding fractions?
