Add 1/8 and 1/12

Enter fraction(s) below:



                 

We want to add the following 2 fractions:

1
8
+
  
1
12

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 12 + 1 x 8
  8 x 12

Fraction 1 + Fraction 2  =  12 + 8
  96

Fraction 1 + Fraction 2  =  20
  96

Reduce our fraction

GCF(20 and 96) = 4

Reduce the numerator by GCF

(1/4) x 20 = 5

Reduce the denominator by GCF

(1/4) x 96 = 24

Answer  =  5
