Language Knowledge and Skills 语言知识与技能
Denominator, Numerator, Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), Cross Simplification, Keep Change Flip, Mixed Numbers
分母 (Denominator), 分子 (Numerator), 最低公倍数 (LCM), 交叉化简 (Cross Simplification), 保留变翻转 (Keep Change Flip), 带分数 (Mixed Numbers)
The fundamental requirement for adding/subtracting fractions is having a common denominator, achieved via LCM. Simplification involves dividing the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
分数加减法的基本要求是分母相同，通过最低公倍数实现。化简涉及分子分母同除以它们的最大公因数（GCF）。
Calculating LCM, converting fractions to equivalent forms, fraction addition and subtraction, fraction multiplication and division, fraction simplification.
