Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
