The algebraic formula for adding fractions is:
ab+cd=ad+bcbdab+cd=ad+bcbdExample steps:26+14=(2×4)+(6×1)6×426+14=(2×4)+(6×1)6×4=1424=712=1424=712Subtracting FractionsThe formula for subtracting fractions is:ab−cd=ad−bcbdab−cd=ad−bcbdExample steps:26−14=(2×4)−(6×1)6×426−14=(2×4)−(6×1)6×4=224=112=224=112Multiplying FractionsThe formula for multiplying fractions is:ab×cd=acbdab×cd=acbdExample steps:26×14=2×16×426×14=2×16×4=224=112=224=112Dividing FractionsThe formula for dividing fractions is:ab÷cd=adbcab÷cd=adbcExample steps:26÷14=2×46×126÷14=2×46×1=86=43=113=86=43=113
