You Ned to find a larger common denominator or multiply the denominators to gain a common denominator.
you would want to find a common denominator -- in this case 160 is the largest common denominator 800/160=5 640/160=4 therefore the ratio would be 5:4 (said "5 to 4")
4/4
The easiest way to find a common denominator of two numbers is to multiply them. Therefore, one of the common denominators for 6 and 7 would be 42 (7 x 6). This method will not necessarily produce the lowest common denominator, but it will determine one. For example, multiplying 4 and 6 will give you 24 as a common denominator. However, the lowest common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12.
A common denominator, though not the least one, is 6*4 = 24.

To find the least common denominator of 3/4 and 3/8, find the LCM of 4 and 8. The answer is 8. Convert 3/4 to 6/8.
What would be the ideal Common Denominator for 2 and 4?

A common denominator 24.
The least common denominator is 340.
First you find a common denominator, then you convert both fractions to the common denominator. For the common denominator, find a number that is divisible by both denominators. Just multiplying both will work, but this is not always the most efficient method, since this may cause you more work later, to simplify the result. Once you decide on a common denominator, in both fractions multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Example: 1/3 + 1/4 Common denominator is 12 Multiply the first fraction by 4/4, and the second by 3/3, to obtain: 4/12 + 3/12
