How do you solve 2 fractions together?
The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. The second step is to multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the new fractions. The fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.
How do you do fractions on a math calculator?
Although you can’t display non-decimal fractions on a calculator without a fraction function, you can still enter them. First enter the numerator of the fraction, then press the division key and enter the denominator. Hit the “equals” key and the fraction will display as a decimal.

Which is the larger fraction 5 / 6 or 3 / 8?
The fraction with the bigger numerator is the larger fraction. Compare 5/6 and 3/8. Find the LCD: The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, etc. The multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, etc. The lowest common multiple is 24 so we use that as the lowest common denominator. Convert each fraction to its equivalent fraction using the LCD.
Which is the least common multiple of 6 6 12?
Multiples of 6: 6, 12 The first multiple they all share is 12, so this is the least common multiple. To complete an addition (or subtraction) problem, multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by whatever value will make the denominators 12, then add the numerators.
