What do you call a common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions?
That's known as the common denominator.
What else Could you call the least common multiple in addition or subtraction problem involving fractions?
If you apply it to the denominators, you could call it the least common denominator.
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
What do you call fractions with not the same denominator?
"Unlike" fractions.
What do you call 2 fractions equal in value?
equivalent fractions
What happens if one of the fractions is negative?
I call them Dolly fractions.
What do you call fractions when the numerator is larger than the denominator?
improper fractions
What do you call fractions having the same denominator?
They are called "like" fractions.
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
What do you call fractions with a whole number and a proper faction is called?
