The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
Use the GCF. The LCF is always 1.
Least common multiple is needed to find the least common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators Greatest common factor is needed when reducing fractions to their lowest terms
When you are simplifying fractions or adding and subtracting unlike fractions.
you have to compare the common fractions
It helps to reduce fractions.
It helps to reduce fractions.
The least common factor is always 1.
Prime factorization helps to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple which, in turn, help in the adding, subtracting and reducing of fractions.
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
Knowing the least common multiple of the denominators will help you find a common denominator when adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Knowing the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator will help you reduce the fraction if possible.
It's never helpful to find the least common factor. The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
When comparing fractions you must find a common denominator; by finding the least common denominator it will keep the numbers (numerators and denominator) smaller .
