AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a visual representation of adding two fractions. Input the numerators and denominators of the fractions, calculate the least common multiple, then draw equal segments for the denominators of both fractions, using different colors to represent the numerators. Next, convert the fractions to have a common denominator, draw new equal segments, and use colors to show the sum.
