Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Algebraic fraction: A fraction where the numerator and/or denominator are algebraic expressions, such as variables or polynomials.
  • Numerical denominator: A denominator that is a fixed number, not involving variables or algebraic expressions.
  • Common denominator: A shared denominator that allows the addition or subtraction of algebraic fractions by making their denominators identical.
  • Simplification of fractions: The process of reducing a fraction to its simplest form, typically by combining like terms and reducing numerator and denominator when possible.
  • Addition and subtraction of fractions: Operations that require the fractions to have a common denominator before combining their numerators.
