There are an unlimited number of common denominators if you want to use ridiculously large numbers. There is ONLY ONE Least Common Denominator (LCD, LCM).

What is the common denominator of 105 and 63?
Denominators can only be found in fractions. 105 and 63, therefore, cannot have common denominators. * * * * * 21 and any multiple of 21.
How can you compare any two fractions to decide which is the largest?
Find the lowest common denominator. Once their denominators are the same, the one with the larger numerator is the largest.
What are the rules of the dissimilar fractions?
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
What are the greatest common denominator of 42?
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.
What is the greatest common divisor of 240 and 360?
The greatest common denominator of any set of denominators is infinite.
How are a common denominator and common multiple different?
Common denominators are common multiples that are being used as denominators.
What is the first step to finding the lowest common denominator of two fractions?
The first step in finding the lowest common denominator of two fractions is to multiply the two denominators. Then you see if there are any smaller numbers that are divisible by both denominators.
What is the common denominator of 105 and 63?
Denominators can only be found in fractions. 105 and 63, therefore, cannot have common denominators. * * * * * 21 and any multiple of 21.
What is the difference between a least common multiple and a least common denominator?
The Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example: the LCM of 10 and 4 is 20, because both 10 and 4 go into 20 and 20 is the smallest number both 10 and 4 can go into. To be able to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. If the denominators are different then the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; any common denominator can be used, but by using the Least Common Multiple of the denominators as the new denominator it keeps the numbers smaller; this smallest denominator is known as the Least Common Denominator Thus the Least Common Denominator is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of two (or more) fractions (used when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators). As the Least Common Multiple is used most often with adding or subtracting fractions, it is often referred to as the Least Common Denominator (because the numbers being considered are usually denominators of fractions).
How do you multiply fractions with variables?
In order to multiply fractions with variables, factor all numerators and denominators completely. Use the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions, cancel any common factors, and leave your final answer in factored form.
How can you compare any two fractions to decide which is the largest?
Find the lowest common denominator. Once their denominators are the same, the one with the larger numerator is the largest.
How are common denominator any common multiple alike?
Common denominators are created by finding the common multiples of unlike denominators.
How do you calculate the sum of fractions?
If the fractions do not all have the same denominator, find a common multiple of the denominators (ideally the lowest common multiple) and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator. Now with all the fractions with the same denominator, add together the numerators. Finally, reduce the fraction to simplest terms, converting any improper fraction to a mixed number.
Where to find common denominators?
Multiply any two denominators together. Their product will be a common denominator of them both.
How do you use comparing mixed fractions?
Assuming the fractions are "normalized" (the fractional part is less than 1): First compare the integer part. If the integer part is the same, you need to compare the fractions. If the denominator of the fractions is different, you have to convert to a common denominator. The simplest way to find a common denominator is to multiply both denominators (i.e., you don't need the LEAST common denominator - any common denominator will do).
What are the rules of the dissimilar fractions?
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
What is the common denominator of 4 and 14?
Assuming those are denominators of fractions you wish to add or subtract, you can use any common multiple of 4 and 14; the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), often called the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) especially when when referring to the denominators of fraction, provides the smallest numerators. For 4 and 14, the LCM is 28.
