>look for a least common denominator - the prime factorization of 3 is "3", and that of 4 is "2*2", so the LCD is "3*2*2", and thus "12".<

Thanks for this. I reverted back to the way I learned in elementary school, but using least common denominators works so much better with harder fractions.

Ok, I admit it, I spent the entire year in the math lab getting through calculus (but, hey, I passed with a decent grade).
