class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-how-to-make-like-or-same-numerators\">How to Make Like or Same Numerators?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For making the numerators of two or more fractions same or like, we can find out the LCM of the numerators and then multiply the numerators with relevant numbers. It becomes easy to compare if there are the like or same numerators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example: We have to compare $\\frac{3}{4}$ and $\\frac{9}{11}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">By finding the LCM, you can find the common numerators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">LCM (3, 9) = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{3\\times3}{4\\times3}=\\frac{9}{12}$ and $\\frac{9}{11}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For comparing $\\frac{9}{12}$ and $\\frac{9}{11}$, we just have to look at the denominator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Since 12 &gt; 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">&nbsp;$\\frac{9}{12}&lt; \\frac{9}{11}\\Rightarrow\\frac{3}{4}&lt;\\frac{9}{11}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1: Write the following fractions in descending order.<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{7}{20},\\frac{7}{9},\\frac{7}{11},\\frac{7}{19}$ and $\\frac{7}{25}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> The smaller the denominator, the greater the fraction when the fractions have like or same numerators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">9 &lt; 11 &lt; 19 &lt; 20&nbsp; 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{7}{9}&gt;\\frac{7}{11}&gt;\\frac{7}{19}&gt;\\frac{7}{20}&gt;\\frac{7}{25}$<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2: Find the fractions with the like or same numerators from the following group of fractions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{3}{5},\\frac{3}{10},\\frac{1}{6},\\frac{3}{8},\\frac{3}{19},\\frac{8}{13}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The fractions with the like or same numerators are:&nbsp; $\\frac{3}{5},\\frac{3}{10},\\frac{3}{8},\\frac{3}{19}$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3: Add <\/strong>$\\frac{1}{3}+\\frac{1}{5}+\\frac{1}{9}$<strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> LCM(3, 5 and 9) = 45<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{1\\times15}{3\\times15}=\\frac{15}{45};\\frac{1\\times9}{5\\times9}=\\frac{9}{45};\\frac{1\\times5}{9\\times5}=\\frac{5}{45}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{15}{45}+\\frac{9}{45}+\\frac{5}{45} = \\frac{29}{45}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 4: Write the following fractions in ascending order:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{135}{178},\\frac{135}{199},\\frac{135}{101},\\frac{135}{119}$ and $\\frac{135}{229}$<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>The greater the denominator, the smaller the fraction when the fractions have like or same numerators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">229
