Properties

Commut­ative
Associ­ative
Identity
Inverse
commut­ative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer
associ­ative property is a property of some binary operations
identity is an equality relating one mathem­atical expression to another
Inverse means the opposite in effect
 

Fractions

Adding
Subtra­cting
Multip­lying
Dividing
Find a common denomi­nator. Add the numerators (and keep the denomi­nator) Simplify the fraction.
Make sure the bottom numbers (the denomi­nators) are the same. Subtract the top numbers (the numera­tors). Put the answer over the same denomi­nator. Simplify the fraction (if needed)
Multiply the two numera­tors. Then multiply the two denomi­nators. Simplify the new fractions.
The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denomi­nator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numera­tors. Then, multiply the two denomi­nators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.
