When you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions.
Yes.
It helps with the adding and subtracting of fractions.
When you are simplifying fractions or adding and subtracting unlike fractions.
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators then the least common multiple amongst them is needed to find the lowest common denominator.
When adding or subtracting unlike fractions, the LCM process is used to find the least common denominator.
To help with adding and subtracting fractions.
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, the first step is to find a common denominator. This involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Once you have a common denominator, you can then add or subtract the numerators of the fractions accordingly.
If their denominators are different then find their lowest common denominator by means of their lowest common multiple remembering to adjust their numerators accordingly before adding or subtracting.
Because when adding or subtracting fractions the denominators must have the same values
