How to Add Fractions

To add fractions, you need to ensure they have a common denominator. Then add the numerators:

$\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a d + b c}{b d}$ (when denominators are different)

Or simply $\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{b} = \frac{a + c}{b}$ (when denominators are the same)

Why Simplify Fractions?

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to work with and understand. A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
