Enter fraction(s) below:
We want to add the following 2 fractions:
Denominator 1 ≠ Denominator 2.We need matching denominators
Multiply fraction 1 numerator * fraction 2 denominator.
Multiply fraction 2 numerator by the fraction 1 denominator
We add those 2 results, and get our numerator.
Our denominator is the product of the denominators of both fractions.
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | Numerator 1 x Denominator 2 + Numerator 2 x Denominator 1 |
| | Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 1 x 4 + 1 x 2 |
| | 2 x 4 |
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 4 + 2 |
| | 8 |
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 6 |
| | 8 |
Reduce our fraction
GCF(6 and 8) = 2
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/2) x 6 = 3
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/2) x 8 = 4
