How do you simplify a fraction?

Divide numerator and denominator by their GCD (Greatest Common Divisor). Example: 12/18. GCD(12,18)=6. 12/6=2, 18/6=3. Simplified: 2/3. Use Euclidean algorithm for GCD: GCD(a,b) = GCD(b, a mod b) until b=0.

How do you add fractions?

Same denominator: just add numerators. 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4. Different denominators: find LCD (Least Common Denominator). 1/3 + 1/4: LCD=12. 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12. Shortcut: a/b + c/d = (ad+bc)/(bd), then simplify. Subtract: (ad-bc)/(bd).
