Ans: Like fractions have the same dominator and Unlike fractions are those which mainly have different denominators. You have to follow simple steps to convert a fraction to like a fraction.
- You have to find the LCM of the given fraction’s denominator.
- Then you need to convert each fraction to its equivalent fraction with the same denominator or LCM, which was obtained from step 1.
Example
Convert 3/4 and 5/6 into the link fraction
It would help if you found the denominators’ LCM first. So, here the LCM of the denominators (4 and 6) is 12.
If we follow the second step now, we’ll get 3/4 equal to 9/12, while 5/6 will be 10/12. So, the like fraction here is 9/12 and 10/12.
