What is the Least Common Denominator of 29 and 80?
There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a pair of fractions.
What is the least common multiple of 18 and 29?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 18 29 is 522.
How are the least common multiple and least common denominator related?
Least Common Multiple and Least Common Denominator are pretty much the same thing. They're just different names. It's called least common denominator when you're dealing with fractions and least common multiple when you're dealing with multiples.Ex: 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 4/5 24/306: 6, 12, 18, 2, 30 + 1/6 ---> + 5/30--------- --------Final Answer:29/30OR30 is the LCD or LCM for 5 and 6.
What is the least common denominator for 29 and 60?
There is none because the Least Common Denominator (or LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators of two or more fractions. Even if you converted your numbers (x) to their fraction equivalents (x/1), the LCD will always be 1.
Why is factoring important in finding a least common denominator?
You can find a common denominator without factoring but it will not be the least such number. That means that you will end up working with numbers that are far larger than they need be. For example, 5/12 + 7/18 Using LCD = 36: 15/36 + 14/36 = 29/36 Without LCD : 90/216 + 84/216 = 174/216 which can then be simplified to 29/36.
