Just wondering - is there anything you can do with 1/(a + b) to get something like A/a + B/b?

Fraction decomposition is the process of breaking down a single fraction into two or more simpler fractions with different denominators.
Fraction decomposition can be useful in solving complex algebraic equations involving fractions, as well as in simplifying expressions and finding common denominators.
To decompose fractions, you need to first find the common denominator of the two fractions. Then, multiply the numerators of each fraction by the opposite denominator and combine the fractions. Finally, simplify the resulting fractions, if necessary.
Yes, all fractions can be decomposed into simpler fractions. However, some fractions may already be in their simplest form and do not require decomposition.
Fraction decomposition is used in various fields such as engineering, chemistry, and economics to solve problems involving proportions and ratios. It is also used in everyday tasks such as cooking and baking, where precise measurements are needed.
