How to Add Fractions

Adding fractions requires the following steps:

1. Find a common denominator – The denominators of both fractions must be the same.
2. Convert the fractions – Adjust both fractions to have the common denominator.
3. Add the numerators – Keep the denominator the same and add the numerators.
4. Simplify the result – Reduce the fraction to its simplest form if possible.

This calculator performs all these steps automatically and shows you the complete solution process.
