Introduction

Before we get started, here is some important terminology that will help you understand the concepts about working with fractions in this section.

product: the result of the multiplication
factor: something being multiplied – for 3⋅2=6, both 3 and 2 are factors of 6
numerator: the top part of a fraction – the numerator in the fraction 2/3 is 2
denominator: the bottom part of a fraction – the denominator in the fraction 2/3 is 3

Adding Fractions

When you need to add or subtract fractions, you will need to first make sure that the fractions have the same denominator. The denominator tells you how many pieces the whole has been broken into, and the numerator tells you how many of those pieces you are using.

Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

Find a common denominator.
Rewrite each fraction using the common denominator.
Now that the fractions have a common denominator, you can add the numerators.
Simplify by canceling out all common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Simplifying a Fraction

Often, if the answer to a problem is a fraction, you will be asked to write it in lowest terms.

Subtracting Fractions

When you subtract fractions, you must think about whether they have a common denominator, just like with adding fractions. Below are some examples of subtracting fractions whose denominators are not alike.

Multiply Fractions

Just as you add, subtract, multiply, and divide when working with whole numbers, you also use these operations when working with fractions.

There are many times when it is necessary to multiply fractions.

Divide Fractions

There are times when you need to use division to solve a problem.

There will also be times when you need to divide by a fraction. Suppose painting a closet with one coat only required 1/2 quart of paint.

How many coats could be painted with the 6 quarts of paint? To find the answer, you need to divide 6 by the fraction, 1/2.

Before we begin dividing fractions, let’s cover some important terminology.

reciprocal: two fractions are reciprocals if their product is 1
quotient: the result of the division
Dividing fractions requires using the reciprocal of a number or fraction. If you multiply two numbers together and get 1 as a result, then the two numbers are reciprocals. Here are some examples of reciprocals.
Dividing is Multiplying by the Reciprocal. For all division, you can turn the operation into multiplication by using the reciprocal. Dividing is the same as multiplying by reciprocal.
