Fraction Operations Guide

Addition & Subtraction

Find a common denominator (usually the LCM), convert both fractions, then add or subtract the numerators. Always simplify the result.

Multiplication

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Simplify by dividing both by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

Division

Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means flip the second fraction and then multiply normally.

Simplification

Find the GCD of the numerator and denominator, then divide both by this number to get the simplest form of the fraction.
