Fractions are a part of a whole. There are different kinds of fractions, like the ones that we're going to talk about are: **equivalent fractions, mixed fractions, improper fractions, proper fractions**.

An **equivalent fraction** is 2 or more different fractions that equal each other. Equivalent fractions can be simplified or expanded.


 * Equivalent Fractions**
 * 1.** Multiply/Divide the numerator with a number
 * 2.** Multiply/Divide the denominator with the same number you multiplied the numerator with.



A **mixed fraction** is a whole number and a part of a whole. So it has a whole number with a proper fraction. Mixed fractions can be converted into Improper Fractions.

An **improper fraction** has a greater number for its numerator than its denominator. The numerator is greater than the denominator. Improper fractions can be converted into mixed fractions.

A **proper fraction** has a smaller number for its numerator than its denominator. The numerator is smaller than the denominator.

The **lowest common denominator(LCD)** is the smallest common factor of the denominator. We use the LCD because it makes fraction operations easier.

1.** Write the factors of the two or more denominators
 * Lowest Common Denominator
 * 2.** Find the lowest factor that the two or more denominators have in common.

1.** See how many times the denominator goes into the numerator.
 * Converting an Improper Fraction to a Mixed Fraction.
 * 2.** Find the number of parts remaining after you removed the whole #.
 * 3.** Place the numerator over the original denominator.

1.** Take the whole # and multiply it with the denominator.
 * Converting a Mixed Fraction to an Improper Fraction.
 * 2.** Take the numerator from step #1 and add the numerator.
 * 3.** Take the answer from step #2 and put it over the original denominator.
