A multiple of the denominator.
Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.
The smallest number that each of the denominators will divide into evenly is called the least common multiple (LCM).
Then the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
Common Denominator
The lowest common denominator, or LCD of 5 and 15 is 15 because that is the smallest number that both numbers divide evenly into.
Oh, dude, the common denominator for 4, 2, and 9 is like the smallest number that all three can divide evenly into. So, in this case, the common denominator would be 36 because 4, 2, and 9 can all divide evenly into 36. Math can be chill sometimes, right?
The largest number that will divide into any number evenly is the number itself.
No. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
find a number that does into the top and bottom number evenly. then divide. when it cant be divided any more then it is in simplest form.....
The smallest prime number that will divide 147 evenly is three.
You simply divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number. Example: Your numerator is 6 and your denominator is 9. You divide them both by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor) which is 3, in this case. 6 divided by 3 equals 2 and 9 divided by 3 equals 3. They are in simplest form now because no number can go into 2 or 3 evenly.
