To find the least common denominator, you simply find the smallest number that can divide into both 50 and 60. So 5 is the smallest number that will divide into 50 and 60. The answer is 5
LCD is the smallest number that both numbers can go into and GCD is the biggest number that goes into both numbers
The Least (or Lowest) Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. For example: the LCM of 10 and 4 is 20, because both 10 and 4 go into 20 and 20 is the smallest number both 10 and 4 can go into. To be able to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. If the denominators are different then the fractions must first be converted into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; any common denominator can be used, but by using the Least Common Multiple of the denominators as the new denominator it keeps the numbers smaller; this smallest denominator is known as the Least Common Denominator Thus the Least Common Denominator is the Least Common Multiple of the denominators of two (or more) fractions (used when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators). As the Least Common Multiple is used most often with adding or subtracting fractions, it is often referred to as the Least Common Denominator (because the numbers being considered are usually denominators of fractions).
The least common denominator (LCD) for one half and one third is 6. To find the LCD, we look for the smallest number that both denominators, 2 and 3, can evenly divide into. In this case, 6 is the smallest number that fits this criteria.
if you mean for 1/3 and 1/12, then to find common denominators, you just list multiples of the denominators 3 and 12. for 3 :3, 6, 9, 12... for 12:12, 24, 36... 12 is the smallest number in both lists, so it is the least common denominator.

The lowest common denominator, or LCD of 5 and 15 is 15 because that is the smallest number that both numbers divide evenly into.
The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. If you had two fractions, and were asked to figure out the least common denominator, you'd have to find the smallest number both of the denominators go into.

The greatest common factor is the largest number that is evenly divisible by both numbers, so if you divide both numerator and denominator by GCF, the numerator and denominator will be the smallest integers possible, and still be an equivalent fraction.

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
if you mean for 1/3 and 1/12, then to find common denominators, you just list multiples of the denominators 3 and 12. for 3 :3, 6, 9, 12... for 12:12, 24, 36... 12 is the smallest number in both lists, so it is the least common denominator.
The numerator of a fraction is the number on top and the denominator is the number at the bottom.Search for a common factor, of the numerator and denominator. That is a whole number that goes into both of them evenly.If the only such number is 1, then you are done. If not,Divide both the numerator and denominator by that common factor to give an equivalent fraction with a new numerator and denominator.Go back to step 1.
The smallest number which is a common multiple of both 7 and 4 is 28.
im pretty sure the denominator is the bottom number so the common one would be 3 seeing as how it goes into both numbers. common means a number they share so 3x2=6 3x5=15 3 being the common denominator===========================================That was certainly a delightful bit of reading entertainment.Use a common denominator of 30 .
