Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both by the GCD. For example, 6/8 simplifies to 3/4 because GCD(6,8) = 2.

Find a common denominator (multiply the denominators), convert each fraction, then add the numerators. For example: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal. For example: 2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 * 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6.

An improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator, such as 7/4. This can be written as a mixed number: 1 and 3/4.

Simply divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
