What else can I help you with?
Why should you find a LCM?
Finding an LCM will help when you want to add and subtract fractions.
How do you find the LCM multiple for two fractions?
The LCM is used for integers, not fractions. If you're trying to add unlike fractions, take the LCM of the denominators (known in this case as the least common denominator, or LCD), convert the fractions and proceed.
How can knowing the GCF and LCM help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Knowing the LCM will help when adding or subtracting unlike fractions. By finding the LCM of the denominators, (called the lowest common denominator) you can convert unlike to like fractions and proceed with the adding or subtracting. Knowing the GCF helps reduce a fraction. By finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and dividing both of them by it, you can reduce a fraction to its lowest terms (simplest form). If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form. You can successfully multiply fractions without knowing the GCF or LCM.
Why do you needto find the LCM?
Finding the LCM will help you when you need to add and subtract fractions.
Why do you find the LCM of numbers?
Finding the LCM helps in the process of adding and subtracting unlike fractions.
What problems can be solved using gcf and LCM?
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
How is HCF and LCM help us in your daily life?
The HCF helps in simplifying fractions and the LCM helps in finding the lowest common denominator in fractions
What is the purpose of finding an LCM?
It assists in the proper addition and subtraction of fractions.
How do you subtract fractions without alike denominators?
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
How can the greatest common factor and least common multiple help you work with fractions?
Finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator of a fraction and dividing them both by it will give you the simplest form of that fraction. Finding the LCM of unlike denominators and converting them to it will make it possible to add and subtract unlike fractions.
How does finding the gcf help you solve real world problems?
Finding the LCM will help you add and subtract fractions. Finding the GCF will help you reduce fractions.
What types of problems can be solved using the greatest common factor and what types of problems can be solved using the least common multiple.?
Finding the GCF will help in simplifying fractions. Finding the LCM will help in adding and subtracting fractions.
