If there is no common factor, as in this case, you just have to multiply all the factors together to get the common denominator.
A common denominator, though not the least, is 40.
Those two expressions have no common factor. Therefore, the common denominator is the product of both. Normally you would keep this factored (don't do the actual multiplication, just indicate both factors in the denominator).
4/4
The Greatest Common Denominator is 2
A common denominator, though not the least one, is 6*4 = 24.
common denominator:60 :)
1/2 + 1/4 =2/4 + 1/4(the common denominator is 4)
A common denominator, though not the least, is 40.
30
What would be the ideal Common Denominator for 2 and 4?
A common denominator 24.
The least common denominator is 340.

Just add the fractions, and divide by 2. Before adding, you have to convert to a common denominator; in this case, you can use "4" as the common denominator.Just add the fractions, and divide by 2.

1/4 plus 1/3 is the same as 3/12 plus 4/12 = 7/12To add 1/3 and 1/4, we must establish a common denominator. In this case a common denominator is 4 times 3, or 12. Finding a lowest common denominator is often a good idea but 12 already is the lowest common denominator. We convert both numbers (1/3 and 1/4) to have the common denominator by multiplying each by 1 (one) in the form to achieve the same denominator:1/3 * 4/4 = 4/121/4 * 3/3 = 3/12Now add the number together: 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12 Since 7/12 can not be reduced, the final answer is 7/12.
A common denominator, though not the least one, is 6*4 = 24.
