The Lowest Common Denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions.
The first step is to find the lowest common denominator of the fractions.
Find the lowest common denominator by finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
A fraction is in lowest terms when the numerator and the denominator have no common factor.
A fraction is in its lowest terms when the greatest common factor of its numerator and denominator is 1
Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the same amount that you multiply the denominator of that fraction.
By finding their lowest common denominator
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
1 is the greatest common factor of any fraction in lowest terms.
To find the sum of fractions, you first need a common denominator. Convert each fraction to have this common denominator, then add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to express the answer in lowest terms.
