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 16 + 3 x 4 |
| | 4 x 16 |
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 16 + 12 |
| | 64 |
| Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 28 |
| | 64 |
Reduce our fraction
GCF(28 and 64) = 4
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/4) x 28 = 7
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/4) x 64 = 16
