Study Notes

جمع الكسور الاعتيادية

تعريف جمع الكسور:
- جمع الكسور هو عملية إضافة كسرين أو أكثر للحصول على كسر جديد.
شروط جمع الكسور:
- الكسور يجب أن تكون متشابهة (نفس المقام) أو غير متشابهة (مقامات مختلفة).
جمع الكسور المتشابهة:
- إذا كان الكسران لهما نفس المقام:
  1. اجمع البسطين.
  2. احتفظ بالمقام كما هو.
  3. الصيغة: [ \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a + b}{c} ]
جمع الكسور غير المتشابهة:
1. إيجاد المقام المشترك الأصغر (م م ص):
  - حدد م م ص بين المقامات.
2. تحويل الكسور:
  - حول كل كسر إلى كسر متشابه بالمقام المشترك الأصغر.
  - الصيغة: [ \frac{a}{c} = \frac{a \cdot (م م ص / c)}{م م ص} ]
3. جمع البسطين:
  - اجمع البسطين بعد تحويل الكسور.
4. تبسيط النتيجة:
  - إذا كان ممكنًا، قم بتبسيط الكسر الناتج.
أمثلة:
- جمع كسور متشابهة:
  - (\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2 + 3}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1)
- جمع كسور غير متشابهة:
  - (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6})
    - م م ص = 12
    - تحويل: (\frac{1 \cdot 3}{12} + \frac{1 \cdot 2}{12} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{2}{12} = \frac{5}{12})
نصائح:
- تأكد من تبسيط الكسور الناتجة عند الإمكان.
- تحقق من جمع الأعداد في البسط بدقة.

Definition of Adding Fractions

Adding fractions involves the process of combining two or more fractions to produce a new fraction.

Conditions for Adding Fractions

Fractions can be either similar (same denominator) or dissimilar (different denominators).

Adding Similar Fractions

For fractions with the same denominator:
- Sum the numerators.
- Keep the denominator unchanged.
- General formula: [ \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a + b}{c} ]

Adding Dissimilar Fractions

Steps for adding fractions with different denominators:
- Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):
  - Determine the LCD among the denominators.
- Convert Fractions:
  - Change each fraction to have the common denominator.
  - Formula for conversion: [ \frac{a}{c} = \frac{a \cdot (LCD / c)}{LCD} ]
- Sum the Numerators:
  - Combine the numerators after converting the fractions.
- Simplify the Result:
  - If possible, simplify the resultant fraction.

Examples

Adding Similar Fractions:
- Example: (\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1)
Adding Dissimilar Fractions:
- Example: (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6})
  - LCD = 12
  - Conversion: (\frac{1 \cdot 3}{12} + \frac{1 \cdot 2}{12} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{2}{12} = \frac{5}{12})

Tips

Always simplify the resulting fractions whenever possible.
Double-check the addition of numerators for accuracy.
