27. REMEMBER: Numerator Denominator Adding/subtracting fractions with the same denominator is easy. You simply add/subtract the numerators. Addition/Subtraction of Fractions Num/Den

28. Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator is easy. You simply add or subtract the numerators. Same Den

29. Adding/subtracting fractions with different denominators is more complicated. You need to find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators first. Remember: The Lowest Common Multiple of 2 or more numbers is the smallest number that the given numbers will divide into without remainder. 2015 1612 9 86 43 Multiples of 3 and 4 12 is the LCM Find the lowest common multiple of the following numbers: 3 and 45 and 203 and 8 10025 8020 6015 4010 205 Multiples of 5 and 20 20 is the LCM 6424 5621 4818 4015 3212 249 166 83 Multiples of 3 and 8 24 is the LCM LCM
