Example: 7/30 + 5/42
Find the LCD by factoring them.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210, the LCD
30 x 7 = 210
42 x 5 = 210
7/30 x 7/7 = 49/210
5/42 x 5/5 = 25/210
49/210 + 25/210 = 74/210
Simplify if necessary.
7/30 + 5/42 = 37/105

What does find the common denominator for the fraction pairs mean?

It means find the LCM of the denominators. In order to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Example: 1/4 + 1/6 The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 1/4 = 3/12 1/6 = 2/12


What is the least common denominator of 21 and 7?

The Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions. I assume the 7 and 21 are the denominators of two fractions you need to add or subtract.LCD(7, 21) = 21.


What are the least common denominators of 20?
