You may have answered your own question. Equivalent fractions have common factors. If they don't have common factors, they aren't equivalent.
Fractions don't have common factors. The common factors of 4 and 6 are 1 and 2.
Convert the fractions to a common denominator to compare them. Or divide 11 / 12, and 12 / 13, in a calculator, and compare the decimal equivalents.
Multiply them by each other.
Common factors go into the numbers, the numbers go into common multiples.
They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals. They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals.
Finding the greatest common factor helps when you are reducing fractions.
Factors and common factors refer to integers, not fractions. The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
No, it is quite possible for the fractions not to have common factors, even if you cross-cancel.
Use the LCM when you are adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Use the GCF when you are simplifying fractions.
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms
Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
