2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   The process for subtracting fractions is, in essence, the same as that of adding them: find a common denominator, and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the chosen common denominator. The resulting fraction will have that denominator, and its numerator will be the result of subtracting the numerators of the original fractions.

3. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

   For example, the numerators of fractions with common denominators can simply be added, such that + = and that <, since each fraction has the common denominator 12. Without computing a common denominator, it is not obvious as to what 5 12 + 11 18 {\displaystyle {\frac {5}{12}}+{\frac {11}{18}}} equals, or whether 5 12 {\displaystyle {\frac {5 ...

4. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   In mathematics education, unit fractions are often introduced earlier than other kinds of fractions, because of the ease of explaining them visually as equal parts of a whole. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] A common practical use of unit fractions is to divide food equally among a number of people, and exercises in performing this sort of fair division are a ...

5. Egyptian fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction

   The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct unit fractions, such as + +. That is, each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer, and all the denominators differ from each other.

6. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   Subtraction is often treated as a special case of addition: instead of subtracting a positive number, it is also possible to add a negative number. For instance = + (). This helps to simplify mathematical computations by reducing the number of basic arithmetic operations needed to perform calculations. [48]

7. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_(mathematics)

   If two fractions a/c < b/d are adjacent (neighbouring) fractions in a segment of F n then the determinant relation = mentioned above is generally valid and therefore the mediant is the simplest fraction in the interval (a/c, b/d), in the sense of being the fraction with the smallest denominator.

9. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   Addition of fractions is much simpler when the denominators are the same; in this case, one can simply add the numerators while leaving the denominator the same: + = +, so + = + =. [ 63 ] The commutativity and associativity of rational addition is an easy consequence of the laws of integer arithmetic. [ 64 ]
