How can finding the least common multiple of two numbers help you add fractions?
When you have fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to find a common denominator before you add or subtract them. The process is the same as finding an LCM, but since the numbers are denominators, we call it the least common denominator. Example: 1/3 + 1/4 The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. 1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12
How do you find the least common multiple of two or more fractions with equivalent denominators?
When it's fractions, we call it the least common denominator, or LCD.Example: 1/30 and 1/42Factor the denominators.2 x 3 x 5 = 302 x 3 x 7 = 42Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
How do you do least common multiple fractions?
When it's fractions, we call it the lowest common denominator, or LCD.Example: 1/30 and 1/42Factor the denominators.2 x 3 x 5 = 302 x 3 x 7 = 42Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
When is least common multiple used when working with fractions?
When you want to add and subtract them, only in that case, we call it the least common denominator. Same process.
What do you call fractions with the same denominator?
They are called like or similar fractions.
What do you call the smallest number that is a multiple of the given numbers?
The least common multiple - that's the smallest multiple that they all have in common
What do you call fractions with not the same denominator?
"Unlike" fractions.
What happens if one of the fractions is negative?
I call them Dolly fractions.
What do you call 2 fractions equal in value?
equivalent fractions
What is the LCM of three quarters and one over six?
