How do you find the least common factor to simplify?

find the lowest factor that equals the numerator and denominator.


What are the least common multyples of 30 and 33?

The least common factor is 1, I think you mean the greatest common factor which is 3.


What is the least common denominator of 3 and 2?

If you're wanting to find a common denominator between fractions with denominators of 3 and 2, then 3 & 2 have only a common factor of 1, so the least common denominator = 2*3 = 6

You need at least two numbers to find a common denominator.


Is it always necessary to find the least common denominator to compare the sizes of fractions?

When comparing fractions you must find a common denominator; by finding the least common denominator it will keep the numbers (numerators and denominator) smaller .


Find the least common denominator for fractions with denominators 9 12 and 16?

The least common denominator is 144.


How do you find the common denominator of 3 fractions?

Pick two of the fractions and find the Least Common Multiple of those two denominators. Then take that number, and find the Least Common Multiple between that and the third denominator. This number will be the Least Common Denominator between the three fractions.If you don't care to find the Least common denominator, then just take the three denominators, and multiply them together.


How do you find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions?

least common denominator is nothing but least common multiple of denominators.


How would you take 8 percent make it a fraction with denominator of 100 and than break that down into a fraction in simplest terms?

You write 8 over 100: 8/100. To simplify, look for a common factor between the numerator and the denominator. If you find any, divide numerator and denominator by the common factor. Repeat, until you find no more common factors.You write 8 over 100: 8/100. To simplify, look for a common factor between the numerator and the denominator.

That's one fraction. You need at least two to find something in common between them.


Find the least common denominator?

The way that you can find the least common denominator is by first multiplying the 2 bottom numbers and whatever the product is that is your common denominator. to find the smallest one, you have to keep dividing it till it is in counting order or there is an odd number.


What is the relationship between least common multiple and greatest common faction?

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
