To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "how do you add the two together without increasing them?- if the denominators are not the same, it's not possible \n" ); document.write( "only if the denominators are the same, you can add the two together without increasing them \n" ); document.write( " |
