If Whole Pizza is Sliced in four pieces ; what is the Value Of Each Piece ?
What the top number is Called ?

Numerator

What is the Bottom Number Is called

Denominator
If Ali had one slice of Pizza which is equal to ¼ & Mohamed had another
slice what the total number of slices Ali & Mohamed Had?

Out Of How Many?

Which means 2/4=1/2

What did we do to get the total ?

1/4 +1/4 =2/4

Are the denominator are the same?

Hence when we add two fractions with the same denominator we simply
the add the numerator
If We have two fractions 1/4 & 1/2 List the multipliers for each denominators

( Multiplier is the whole number if divided by another number the result will be
whole Number)

4;8;12;16;20;………..

2;4;6;8;10;12

What are the common multipliers for the two denominators?

4; 8; 12 are called common multipliers

What is the least common multiplier

4
If we change the denominators of 1/4 & ½ to least common denominators(
LCM)

1/4 will be 1/4

1/2 will be 2/4

If Ali had 1/4 slice of Pizza & Mohamed had 1/2 what the total?

We will Add 1/4 + 1/2

When we use Least Common Multiplier this will be

1/4 + 2/4 =3/4

To get the LCM for the denominators we list the multipliers for each
denominators as in the following example:

What is least common multiplier for 1/2 ; 1/3;1/5

Now Add ½; 1/3 & 1/5
