Add Fractions Calculator

This document explains how to add fractions. It defines fraction numbers as numbers that can be expressed in the form of a/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b is not equal to 0. It describes how to add like fractions, where the denominators are the same, by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator the same. It also explains how to add unlike fractions by first finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators and converting the fractions to equivalent fractions with the common denominator before adding the numerators. The summary provides an example of adding 3/5 and 5/4 by first finding the LCM of 4 and 5 to be 20 and then converting the fractions to equivalent forms with a denominator of 20 before

Add Fractions Calculator is a special tool which helps us to learn about the procedure followed
to learn addition of fraction numbers. Now we first define fraction numbers.
The numbers which can be expressed in the form of a / b are called fraction numbers, where
we have a and b as the whole numbers and b <> 0.
All the whole numbers are also called fraction numbers as any whole number n can be written
as n / a, which is in the form of numerator / denominator.
Let us assume that any fraction number a/b and another number 0 are added, then we get the
sum of the two fraction numbers as
a/ b + 0 = a / b
Now let us take two like fractions such that the denominators of the two fraction numbers are
equal.

Then we say that the sum will have the sum of the two numerators and the denominator will
remain same. So if a / b and c / b are any two fraction numbers, then we say that the sum will
be:
a/b + c / b = ( a + c ) / b
In another situation, we take the two unlike fraction numbers. In this case, we will first convert
the two unlike fraction numbers into like fraction numbers.
For this we will find the LCM of the denominators of the two given fraction numbers and then
the two fraction numbers will be converted into their equivalent form such that the
denominator of both the fraction numbers becomes equal to the LCM.
After this the problem converts into the addition of simple fraction numbers with the same
denominator. Thus we say that if we have the following fractions to be added:
3/5 + 5/4
So LCM of denominators 4 and 5 will be 20 and so we will write them in the equivalent form
by making the denominators of both the fraction numbers as 20. We get
= ( 12 / 20 ) + ( 25 / 20 )
Now we will add the numerators and we will get the fraction as follows :
( 12 + 25)/ 20
= 37 / 20
This resultant fraction is improper fraction number and so we will convert the result into
improper fraction number. For this we will divide the numerator with the denominator and get :

If we are given any two mixed fraction numbers to be added, then we can solve the given
expression in two ways. First is we simply add the two whole parts of the mixed fractions and
then we will add the fraction parts of the two numbers.
On the other hand, we say that the two mixed fraction numbers can be converted into the
improper fraction numbers and then the sum of the two fraction numbers can be added up to
get the result.
Every time we need to check the resultant fraction numbers and then we will convert it to the
mixed fraction number in case the resultant fraction number is in the form of improper fraction
number and get the result.
