Example: 1/30 and 1/42
Factor them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
1/30 = 7/210
1/42 = 5/210

How do you write fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCD?
(1) find the LCD. (2) find the factor that each original denominator needs to be multiplied by to get the LCD. (3) multiply both the numerator and the denominator by that factor.
LCD of two or more fractions mean?
LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator which is the lowest number into which the denominators of all the fractions will each divide exactly. Each of the fractions can then be converted to an equivalent fraction with the new denominator which then allows the fractions to be added and/or subtracted.
What is the LCD for fractions?
The LCD for fractions is the LCM (least common multiple) of all of the denominators.
How do you find equivalent fractions with lcd?
For the first fraction, divide the give denominator into the LCD, take that result and multiply by the given numerator to create a new numerator for the LCD. Repeat for each fraction.
How do you subtart fractions?
subtract? Find a common denominator (LCD is preferred). Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Add numerators, keep LCD as new denominator. Reduce the fraction.
What is three eighths plus one fourth?
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.
When is it useful to know multiples of a number?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms or finding the LCD of fractions
IS THE LCD OF TWO FRACTIONS THE SAME AS THE LCM NUMERATORS AND FRACTIONS?
The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
Find the LCD then add or subtract?
To add or subtract fractions the denominators must be the same - then the numerators are added or subtracted with the denominator being kept the same.When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then the (new) numerators can be added or subtracted as required.For the denominator for these equivalent fractions, the original denominators can all be multiplied together, but this can lead to having to work with very large numbers; a better choice for the denominator is the smallest number that all the denominators divide into, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) - this is is then used as the denominator for the equivalent fractions and is called the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions.First you find the LCD okay??? Then you have to add or subtract. What they mean by that is that once you've found your lcd add or subtract..xx hope i helped :)
What is the algorithm for adding fractions?
LCD
How the LCD of two or more fractions could be of use?
Once you find the LCD, convert the fractions to their equivalents and then you can add and/or subtract them correctly.
How can equivalent fractions help when adding mixed numbers?
It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.
