Learning on grade 3rd math

Let me give you some learning on the basics operations of fractions. This learning comes under the study of grade 3 math. Let us start with adding and subtracting fractions.
You can easily add or subtract like fractions means simply add or subtract the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator. For dealing with fraction problems you can also get help from online fraction calculator.
But before adding or subtracting unlike fractions you must find equivalent fraction with the same denominator like this:

First find the smallest multiple of both numbers and then rewrite the fractions as equivalent fraction with the LCM as the denominator.
When dealing with the fractions LCM is nothing but the Least Common denominator.
Some Adding fractions example:
4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8
5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10.
Adding and subtracting fraction with different denominator:
5/4 + 2/3
First convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction with the same denominator
12 be the equivalent denominator for 3 and 4
So (5*3 )/12 + (2*4)/12 = 15/12 + 8/12 = 23/12
In the same way subtracting fraction too.
