There are many ways to find the lowest common denominator (LCD). One way is to list out all the factors of both numbers and find the common one. Whichever one is the lowest is the LCD. But if you're using larger numbers you can do trial and error or multiple the denominators.
Yes. You are using your brain.
For reducing fractions to their lowest terms
in whole numbers (without using fractions) there is no answer; 95 over 27 is the lowest term available
To find the quotient of two numbers, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, if you have 10 as the numerator and 2 as the denominator, the quotient would be 10 divided by 2, which equals 5. Therefore, the quotient in lowest terms for this example would be 5/1.
15 5,3 10 5,2 The common factors are 1 and 5.
Sort allows you to put things in order. If you have a list of numbers and wanted them in ascending or descending order, you can sort them. The same thing can be done if you had a list of other kinds of things like names or dates and you wanted to sort them.

In general, all common factors of two (or more) numbers are factors of its GREATEST common factor. Thus, you need to start by using the methods you were taught, to find the greatest common factor.
You do not need a function to determine the lowest common factor of two numbers. The lowest factor of any one number is 1. The lowest common factor of any two numbers is therefore 1 as well.
