What are Fractions?
A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). The numerator shows how many parts you have, while the denominator shows how many equal parts the whole is divided into.
Fraction Operations Rules
| Operation | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Addition | a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd |
1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 |
| Subtraction | a/b − c/d = (ad − bc) / bd |
3/4 − 1/2 = 1/4 |
| Multiplication | a/b × c/d = (ac) / (bd) |
2/3 × 3/4 = 1/2 |
| Division | a/b ÷ c/d = (ad) / (bc) |
1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 2 |
Simplifying Fractions
To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). This gives you the fraction in its lowest terms.
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) first. This makes calculations easier and often eliminates the need for simplification later!
