​Adding and Subtracting Fractions

To add or subtract fractions, our denominators must be the same.

​Then, we add numerators only.

​

​If the denominators are not the same, we must find the LCD.

​LCD: lowest common denominator

​

​Once our denominators match, we can add or subtract the numerators
