Looking Back

From your previous lessons, you have learned some ways of finding the GCF and LCM of a given set
of numbers and changing dissimilar fractions to similar fractions.

Lesson 1: Finding GCF of a given set of numbers using prime factorization method.
Example: Find the GCF of 4, 8, and 20.

4=2x2 Multiply only the common prime factors 2 x 2 = 4.

8=2x2x2
20 = 2 x 2 x 5 Thus, the GCFF is 4
2x2
Note: Bring down only the common prime factors then multiply them to get the GCF.

Lesson 2: Finding LCM of a given set of numbers using prime factorization method.
Example: Find the LCM of 4, 8, and 20.

4=2x2 Multiply all the prime factors 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40

8=2x2x2
20 = 2 x 2 5 Thus, the LCM is 40
2x2x2x5

Note: Bring down all the prime factors then multiply them to get the LCM.
When LCM is used as denominators it will be called as least common denominator (LCD).

Lesson 3: Changing dissimilar fractions to similar fractions.

1 3 9
Example: Change the given set of fractions to similar fractions. , , and
4 8 20

1 10
Steps to follow: 1) divide the LCD by the original denominator.
4 40

3 15
2) multiply the quotient by the original numerator.
8 40

9 18 1 10
40 ÷ 4 = 10 then 10 x 1 = 10 Thus, becomes
20 40 4 40

3 15
Repeat the process 40 ÷ 8 = 5 then 5 x 3 = 15 Thus, becomes
8 40

9 18
40 ÷ 20 = 2 then 2 x 9 = 18 Thus, becomes
20 40

1 3 9 10 15 18
Therefore, , , and becomes , , and
4 8 20 40 40 40

Use prime factorization method to find the LCM of the denominators 4, 8, and 20.

MATH 5 QUARTER 1 WEEK 5 P a g e 2 | 10

 4=2x2 Multiply all the prime factors 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40
8=2x2x2
20 = 2 x 2 5 Thus, the LCM is 40
2x2x2x5 Since the LCM is 40, therefore the LCD is 40.
40 will be the new denominators of the given set of fractions.

8 Introduction of the Topic

Lesson 1. Addition of Similar Fractions and Mixed Number.

In adding similar fractions, we simply add the numerators and copy the common denominator. Express

the answer in the simplest form/lowest term as much as possible.

Examples: a. + 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟏𝟎 or b. 𝟏 + 𝟕 = 𝟏𝟕
𝟏𝟎 𝟓 𝟕

Lesson 1-A. Addition of Dissimilar Fractions and Mixed Numbers without Regrouping

• To add dissimilar fractions and mixed numbers:

1. Convert dissimilar fractions into similar fractions.

2. Add or subtract the whole numbers and the fractional parts.

3. Simplify the answer or change to lowest term whenever possible.

5 𝟏𝟎 The common multiples of 2 and 5 are 10 and 20
The LCM is 10. Therefore, the LCD is 10
STEP 3 Add the whole numbers if there is any. Add the fractions.
Write the whole number before the sum of fractions.

 3) If in case the minuend fraction is smaller than the subtrahend fraction, get 1 whole fraction from
the whole number and add to the minuend fraction then continue the subtraction.
4) Subtract the whole numbers if there is any. Next to it, subtract the numerators then just copy
common denominator of the fractions.
