Adding Fractions
Adding fractions is very simple if the
denominators are the same.

“I ate 2 sevenths of the
pizza followed by 3
sevenths. How much
have I eaten?”
Therefore what should be our strategy if the
denominators are different?

A Quicker (Mental) Method
We can multiply the numerators diagonally.
5 1
40 + 6
+ =
48
6 8
Step 1: Multiply the denominators (note: this
guarantees you get a number both 6 and 8
go into, but it may not be the smallest!)
Step 2: Since the 6 got multiplied by 8, so
does the 3. i.e. We are multiplying diagonally.
46 23
=
=
48 24
Disadvantages of this method:
• Because we’re not finding
smallest denominator, further
simplification may be
required.
• Doesn’t extend to more than
two fractions.
Step 3: And repeat with the other numerator.

Mixed Numbers ⇔ Improper Fractions
Improper fractions are
where the numerator is
greater than the
denominator.
Mixed numbers have an
integer and fractional
part.

We could make up 3 wholes using quarters (because 4
goes into 13 three times).
The remainder was 1, so we have 1 quarter left over.

Multiplying Fractions
Skills to do with multiplying fractions:
• Multiply simple fractions.
• Multiply a mixture of whole numbers, proper fractions and mixed numbers.
• Understand ‘cross cancelling’ with fractions, including with several fractions where
there may be a pattern of cancelling.
• Find a fraction of an amount (including a fraction of a fraction).
• Understand how to deal with fractions nested inside fractions.
• Solve puzzles involving fractions, particularly involving successive fractions of an
amount and what’s left.
Multiplying fractions is fairly easy. Simply multiply numerators and denominators.

× = ?

Cross-Cancelling
Recall that we can simplify fractions by dividing top and bottom by a common factor.
Since numerators are being combined and denominators likewise, there’s nothing
preventing us cancelling any numerator with any denominator.

𝑛−1 𝟏 ?
× × × ⋯×
=

𝑛

We can see the numbers between 2 and 𝑛 − 1 are common to top and
bottom. This leaves just 1 in the numerator and 𝑛 in the denominator.

Ensure you simplify
your fraction.

All numbers between 3 and 998 will cancel top and
bottom. This leaves just 1 and 2 in the numerator
and 999 and 1000 in the denominator.
