Common denominator - Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!

Least common denominator - You do the same thing for the common denominator
