- Think about how to deal with normal fractions and do the same thing. For example, to add we need a common denominator. To multiply, it helps to cross cancel first.
- Only cancel common factors! Never cross out a like term on the top and bottom unless it is a factor.
- It normally helps to factorise, so you can identify any factors that can be cancelled.
If you want to do some more practice, try this. Skip past the fraction section to see algebraic fractions.
