At least two fractions are needed in order to determine a common denominator.
The LCD of 5/8 and 5/6 is 24.
A common denominator is 32.
To add one-quarter (1/4) to three-eighths (3/8), you first need a common denominator. The least common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Converting one-quarter to eighths gives you 2/8, so adding 2/8 to 3/8 results in 5/8. Therefore, one-quarter added to three-eighths equals five-eighths (5/8).
To compare five-eighths (5/8) and three-fourths (3/4), it's helpful to convert them to a common denominator. The least common denominator for 8 and 4 is 8. Five-eighths is equivalent to 5/8, while three-fourths is equivalent to 6/8. Since 5/8 is less than 6/8, five-eighths is not more than three-fourths.
To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.

The Least Common Denominator of 3/4 and 7/8 is 8.
To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.
16 is the common denominator. 3/4=12/16 7/16=7/16 5/8=10/16

To express five eighths in fortieths, start by converting five eighths into a fraction with a denominator of 40. Since 8 times 5 equals 40, multiply both the numerator and the denominator of five eighths (5/8) by 5: [ \frac{5 \times 5}{8 \times 5} = \frac{25}{40}. ] Thus, five eighths is equivalent to twenty-five fortieths.
