How to change dissimilar fractions into similar fractions?

First, get the Least Common Denominator.

2 = 1 x 2

4 = 2 x 2

LCD = 4

Use the Formula:

(LCD/Denominator) x Numerator

First fraction: 1/2

(4/2) x 1

2 x 1

= 2

The sum is your new numerator while the LCD is your new denominator.

1/2 = 2/4
