  How To Better Understand The Basics Of Working With Fractions
  
  Dealing with numbers is always a challenge even when you are young, and for some doing math and its calculation is something that is characterized with deep analytical thinking and problem solving capacity.
  
  When you add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers it will be easy if they are whole numbers and it is easy to apply the basic knowledge you learned about math, but when it comes to fractions, the challenge begins there.
  
  It will be easy to go by it if you use online fraction calculator or any device that is capable of solving fractions but when you do have to do it manually, still the basics are needed and a little twist, and you will see it here how to be refreshed with the way fractions are solved.
  
  You know that a fraction is a portion of a whole number, it is a part of an entire picture and it can best be understood when it has illustrations, but there are ways in which you can learn more of the easy and practical way to solve fractions.
  
  If you want to add fractions, like example 1/2 + 1/4 , you have to get the least common denominator that is applicable for both fractions that is divisible in both denominator, and in this case it is 2, then you multiply the fraction with lesser denominator by 2 so it becomes 2/4, add that back to 1/4 then that becomes 3/4 .
  
  When you subtract 1/2 – 1/4 , still you get the least common denominator and multiply that number to the lesser denominator fraction, hence 2/4 – 1/4 is 1/4 , and remember either in addition or subtraction you do not include the denominators.
  
  Now to multiply fraction you simply multiple same level, numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator, therefore for 1/2 * 1/4 it will result to 1/8 , and when you divide 1/2 by 1/4 will you will have to multiply numerator 1 to denominator 2, and denominator 1 to denominator 2 and you will get 4/2 and this number is divisible with its denominator, therefore, you get the result of 2.
  
  These are but simple ones, and you will get the hang of it when you get to practice more often or if not you can always use the online fraction calculator to help you get the immediate answer, but mastery will go with constant practice.
  
  Learning mathematics is fun, and with solving fractions even, just remember the basic solving process and you will be able to pull it off, and get the problem solved in no time at all. These may not be as helpful as it may seem but you just don’t know how convenient it is to learn and understand how to calculate fractions in a fraction of the time.
