You can always find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
You can multiply the two denominators, or you can find the least common multiple for the two denominators.
To find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions, you first need to list the prime factors of each denominator. Then, identify the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the denominators. Finally, multiply these highest powers together to find the least common multiple, which will be the least common denominator for the fractions.
The least common denominator is 144.
You need at least two denominators to find something in common between them.
You can always find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together.
Multiply any two denominators together. Their product will be a common denominator of them both.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
You can multiply the two denominators, or you can find the least common multiple for the two denominators.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
Common denominators are multiples that are being used as denominators. The process to find them is the same.
To find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions, you first need to list the prime factors of each denominator. Then, identify the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the denominators. Finally, multiply these highest powers together to find the least common multiple, which will be the least common denominator for the fractions.
The least common denominator is 144.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the different denominators then rearranging the numerators and denominators accordingly.
Only if the denominators are different.
You don't. You find a common denominator and compare after that.
