What is an common multiple of the denominators for two or more fractions?
Multiplying the denominators together of two or more unlike fractions will get you a common multiple.
What is the LCD for fractions?
The LCD for fractions is the LCM (least common multiple) of all of the denominators.
What is the least common denominator of two fractions?
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.

What is the smallest common multiples is called?
It is usually called the least common multiple. But it can also be called the least/lowest common denominator when it is used for addition or subtraction of rational fractions.
How can knowing the greatest common factor and least common multiple help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Knowing the least common multiple of the denominators will help you find a common denominator when adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Knowing the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator will help you reduce the fraction if possible.
How do you know when to subtract fractions or to multiple?
Generally speaking, if the question is about taking something away it is subtraction. If it is about a number of lots or copies or sets of something, it is multiplication.
What to do when the denamintor is different numbers?
I am assuming that denamintor is your way of spelling denominator. If not, please explain what it means and we can try to answer your question.The answer depends on what you wish to do. For multiplication or division it does not matter. For addition or subtraction you will need to find the least common multiple and rename the fractions so that their denominators are the same.
What makes the least common denominator the most efficient common denominator in addition o subtraction?
It is the lowest common multiple of the different denominators.
What is the use of number line?
It shows multiple numbers in order to use in addition, subtraction, etc.
Adding unlike fractions?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
When solving inequalities with multiple operations addition and subtraction are undone before multiplication and division?
Your question is a little confusing. If you are asking which gets done first ... addition/subtraction or multiplication/division ... the multiplication/division is done first. In other words, in 1 + 4 / 2, you divide 4 by 2 first, then add 1. So the answer is 3.
What is the advantage of multiplying both sides of the equation by the same least common multiple of the denominators?
It will be easier to perform the required calculation.

How do you make 33 out of 6?
To make 33 using the number 6, you can use multiplication and addition. For example, you can calculate (6 \times 5 + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33). Alternatively, you could use division, subtraction, or other operations involving multiple 6s combined with other numbers, but the simplest method involves basic arithmetic as shown.
