How to Add Fractions with Co-Prime Denominators
Co-Prime Denominators are the denominators with no common factors other than 1.
To add fractions with co-prime denominators we follow the steps added below,
Let’s suppose we have to add a/b + c/d where, b and d are co-prime denominator.
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of first fraction(a) with denominator of second fraction(d) and numerator of second fraction(c) with denominator of first fraction(b) and they both are added.
Step 2: Now both the denominators are multiplied (bd)
Step 3: Now both numbers from step 1 and step 2 are divided {(ad + bc)/(bd)} to get the required fractions.
This can be explained by the following example :
= (2/7) + (5/6)
= {(2×6 + 5×7)/(7×6)}
= (12 + 35)/(42)
= 47/42

Addition of Fractions is the method of adding two fractions together to get a single fraction. A fraction represents the division of one number by another, written with a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number) separated by a horizontal line.
Let’s learn the different kinds of addition in fractions, with the help of examples.
