Best Answer

Least common multiple is the smallest multiple between a pair of numbers.

Multiples of 4 are 4,8,12,16 Multiples of 2 are 2,4,6,8,10 LCM=4

Least common denominator is found by making the bottom number of a pair of fractions the same by finding the least common multiple.

1/4+3/8=

Multiples of 4 are 4,8,12,16...

Multiples of 8 are 8,16,24,32...

The least common multiple is 8

Next you have to figure out how many times 4 goes into 8 which would be 2 times. Now you must multiply 1/8 x 2/1 to get 2/8 now you can add 2/8 and 3/8 to solve the example.

What are the differentiate of GCF LCM and LCD?

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that all the members of a given set of numbers can divide into evenly with no remainder. The lowest common denominator, or LCD, is essentially the same thing as the LCM except the numbers being compared are the bottom parts of fractions.


Is LCM the same as LCD?

The same process is used to find both. When it's a whole number, we call it the LCM. When the whole number is a denominator, we cal it the LCD.
