Example: 1/30 and 1/42Factor them.2 x 3 x 5 = 302 x 3 x 7 = 42Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
Example: 1/30 and 1/42Factor them.2 x 3 x 5 = 302 x 3 x 7 = 42Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
Example: 1/30 and 1/42Their LCD is 210.Multiply each one by whatever it takes to make 210 in the denominator.30 x 7 = 21042 x 5 = 2101/30 x 7/7 = 7/2101/42 x 5/5 = 5/210
The same as with two.Example: 30, 42, 60Factor them.2 x 3 x 5 = 302 x 3 x 7 = 422 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates.2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 420, the LCD
Example: 1/30 and 1/42 Factor them. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Combine the factors, eliminating duplicates. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
9 = 3^2 15 = 3 x 5 21 = 3 x 7 lcm = 3^2 x 5 x 7 = 315
lcd(35, 60) = 420. 35 = 5 x 7 60 = 2^2 x 3 x 5 lcd = 2^2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 420
5 = 5 12 = 2² x 3 15 = 3 x 5 2² x 3 x 5 = 60
