Adding Unlike Denominators

4. Some multiples of 3 & 6 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 Common Multiple
A number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
Some multiples of 3 & 6
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42

5. Least Common Multiple
The smallest common multiple of a set of two or more numbers.
5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

6. Shortcut for Finding the Least Common Denominator or Least Common Multiple
Check to see if the smaller denominator
divides evenly into the larger denominator.
If it does, use the larger denominator for
your LCD or LCM. 1
3 will divide evenly into 9,
so 9 is your LCD or LCM. 3 1 + 9

7. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Find the multiples of each denominator. 1 5
= 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 1 + 10
= 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

8. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Compare the lists of multiples. Circle the common multiples between the two lists. 1
5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 1 +
10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

9. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Use the lowest common multiple as the denominator.(Remember to find at least the first 5 of each number) 1
5 = 5, 10, 15 ,20 ,25 ,30 1 +
10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

10. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
This number is also called the least common denominator. 1
5 = 5, 10, 15 ,20 ,25 ,30 1 +
10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

11. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Rewrite the fractions using the least common denominator or least common multiple. 1 5 10 1 + 10 10

12. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Find the equivalent fractions for 1/5 & 1/10 with 10 as the denominator.
You know that 1/10
is equal to 1/10 so
Put a 1 over the
Bottom 10. 1 5 10 1 1 + 10 10

13. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Find the equivalent fractions for 1/5 & 1/10 with 10 as the denominator.
To find the top
number, ask yourself
what do you multiply
the 5 by to get 10. 1 5 10 1 1 + 10 10

14. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Find the equivalent fractions for 1/5 & 1/10 with 10 as the denominator.
That’s right 2. Since
you are looking for
the equivalent fraction
you know the top
number must also be
multiplied by 2. 1
x 2 = 5 10
x 2 = 1 1 + 10 10

15. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Find the equivalent fractions for 1/5 & 1/10 with 10 as the denominator. 1 2
x 2 =
To find the top number
just multiply 2 x 1 to
get your equivalent
fraction. 5 10
x 2 = 1 1 + 10 10

16. To Add or Subtract Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Now just add the numerators. 1 2
x 2 = 5 10
x 2 =
Remember when
adding fractions you never add the denominators. 1 1 + 10 10 3 10

17. 1 2 8 1 + 8 8 Add these Fractions Use the short cut to find the
Least Common
Denominator
(LCD). 1 2 8 1 + 8 8

18. 1 2 8 1 + 8 8 Add these Fractions x 4 = x 1 = Now find the equivalent
fractions for
1/2 & 1/8. 1 2 8
x 4 = 1 + 8
x 1 = 8
Ask what do you multiply 2 by to get 8
and what do you multiply 8 by to get 8.

19. 1 2 8 1 + 8 8 Add these Fractions x 4 = x 4 = x 1 = x 1 =
Since you are
writing equivalent
fractions, now
multiply the top
numbers by the
same number you
did in the
bottom. 1
x 4 = 2 8
x 4 = 1
x 1 = + 8
x 1 = 8

20. 1 4 2 8 1 1 + 8 8 Add these Fractions x 4 = x 4 = x 1 = x 1 =
