Common denominators are common multiples that are being used as denominators.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
Common denominators are multiples that are being used as denominators. The process to find them is the same.
Common denominators are common multiples of two or more denominators.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators.
a least common (LCD) denominator is a least common multiple (LCM); only it's a fraction and it's LCM is in the denominator's place.
It is the lowest common multiple of the different denominators.
Common denominators are common multiples that are being used as denominators.
Find the lowest common denominator by finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
The least common denominator.
That's a common denominator.
By finding their lowest common denominator by means of their lowest common multiple
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators then the least common multiple amongst them is needed to find the lowest common denominator.
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
The smallest number that can be divided by two or more different denominators is the "least common multiple" or LCM of those numbers.
The Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example: the LCM of 10 and 4 is 20, because both 10 and 4 go into 20 and 20 is the smallest number both 10 and 4 can go into. To be able to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. If the denominators are different then the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; any common denominator can be used, but by using the Least Common Multiple of the denominators as the new denominator it keeps the numbers smaller; this smallest denominator is known as the Least Common Denominator Thus the Least Common Denominator is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of two (or more) fractions (used when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators). As the Least Common Multiple is used most often with adding or subtracting fractions, it is often referred to as the Least Common Denominator (because the numbers being considered are usually denominators of fractions).
