27/12= [(12 * 2)+3]/12= [24+3]/12= 27/12
2 * 3 * 12 = 72
3/4 + 2/3 = 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12 or 15/12
For 3/4 and 2/3 the LCD is 12.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 2 + 5 + 5 = 12 5 + 7 = 12

12 is the LCM of any of the following 44 sets:{12},{1, 12}, {2, 12}, {3, 4}, {3, 12}, {4, 6} , {4, 12}, {6, 12},{1, 2, 12}, {1, 3, 4}, {1, 3, 12}, {1, 4, 6}, {1, 4, 12},{1, 6, 12}, {2, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 12}, {2, 4, 6}, {2, 4, 12},{2, 6, 12}, {3, 4, 6}, {3, 4, 12}, {3, 6, 12}, {4, 6, 12},{1, 2, 3, 12}, {1, 2, 4, 12}, {1, 2, 6, 12}, {1, 3, 4, 12},{1, 3, 6, 12}, {1, 4, 6, 12}, {1, 2, 4, 6}, {1, 3, 4, 6},{1, 2, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4, 6}, {2, 3, 4, 12}, {2, 3, 6, 12},{2, 4, 6, 12}, {3, 4, 6, 12},{1, 2, 3, 4, 6}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 12}, {1, 2, 3, 6, 12},{1, 2, 4, 6, 12}, {1, 3, 4, 6, 12}, {2, 3, 4, 6, 12},{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}.
The six factors for 12 are 1,2,3,4,6 and 12. The prime factors are 2 and 3.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
The LCM of 3, 4, and 12 is 12 factoring 3=1*3 4=1*2*2 12=1*2*2*3 LCM=1*2*2*3=12
3 1/12 - 2/3 = 2 13/12 - 8/12 = 2 5/12
144=12*12. Simplify 12. So 12=2*2*3 144= 2*2*3*2*2*3} answer
The LCM of 2, 3, and 12 is 12.
The least common multiple of 3 , 2 , 12 = 12
2/3= 2 ÷3= 0.66679/12= 9 ÷12= 0.75therefore, 9/12 is greater than 2/3.
27/12= [(12 * 2)+3]/12= [24+3]/12= 27/12
