Simplifies by 3.
3/12 + 8/12.
Find a common denominator (the product or the LCM of the denominators), convert the fractions and add the numerators. Example: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6. The tool does this automatically.
The LCM gives the least common denominator, but the product of the denominators also works, it just needs simplifying at the end.
Convert to an improper fraction, add, then convert back. 1 1/2 = 3/2.
