Lesson 1: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

Similar Fractions
Similar fractions are fractions which have the same denominator. To add or subtract similar fractions, add
or subtract the numerators and copy the common denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.

Add the numerators and copy the denominator.

Simplify the answer to its lowest term by the dividing the

numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor.

Subtract the numerators and copy the denominator.

Simplify the answer to its lowest term by the dividing the

numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor.

Dissimilar Fractions
Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different denominators. To add or subtract dissimilar fractions, find
the Least Common Denominator or LCD. Then, rewrite each fraction into its equivalent fraction using the
LCD. Add or subtract the numerators and write the sum or difference over the common denominator.
Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.
Mixed Fractions
For mixed similar fractions, add or subtract the whole numbers and the fractions. Simplify the resulting
fraction if possible.

For mixed dissimilar fractions, determine the LCD of the fraction and change it to its equivalent fraction
using the common denominator. Add or subtract the whole numbers and the fractions. Simplify the resulting
fraction if possible.
