If you mean the steps, they are as follows:* Identify a common denominator. Any common denominator will do. * Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions, with the common denominator found in the previous step. (If the fractions start off with the same denominator, there is nothing else to do in these first two steps.) * Add the numerators. That's the numerator of the result. Copy the common denominator as the denominator of the result. * Check whether you can simplify the resulting fraction.
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.
A few synonyms for common denominator are , common divisor, common measure, denominator, numerator
A common denominator of 20 and 30 is 600. This is NOT the least common denominator, though.
The greatest common denominator is infinite. The least common denominator is 45.
A common denominator is 7.A common denominator is 7.A common denominator is 7.A common denominator is 7.

That's the least common denominator or LCD.
The least common denominator.

A common denominator, though not the least, is 80.
There can be no greatest common denominator. For supose x is the greatest common denominator. ie 24 divides x and 36 divides x. Then 2x is a common denominator and 2x > x so 2x is a greater common denominator than the greatest common denominator. That contradiction implies that there is no greatest common denominator.
You Ned to find a larger common denominator or multiply the denominators to gain a common denominator.
The numerator is the top number, the denominator is the bottom number. I always remembered that the "denominator" was "down".
