Addition, Order, and Applications
To add when denominators are different:
a) Find the least common multiple of the denominators. That number is the least common denominator, LCD.
b) Multiply by 1, writing 1 in the form of n/n, to find an equivalent sum in which the LCD appears in each fraction.
c) Add the numerators, keeping the same denominator.
d) Simplify, if possible. b

a) Since 4 is a factor of 8, the LCM of 4 and 8 is 8. Thus, the LCD is 8.
b) We need to find a fraction equivalent to with a denominator of 8:
