The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
fractions having same denominators are like fractions & others are unlike fractions
When multiplying fractions, it is not necessary to find the LCD first.
It is easy: just convert to decimal fractions.
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
In adding dissimilar fractions first you have to find the LCD! -> LCD means Least Common Denominator. *For example 2/3 3 6 9 12 + 3/4 4 8 12 the LCD is 12 put 12 under the - divide 12 to denominator and write the answer in left of given question
Dissimilar fractions may or may not be proper fractions.
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
2/3,3/8Find the LCD. The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. Multiply the fractions by whatever it takes to make 24.2/3 x 8/8 = 16/243/8 x 3/3 = 9/24
Used for adding dissimilar fractions
The meaning of dissimilar fractions is when there is a pair or more of fractions that don't have the same denominator.
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
Dissimilar fractions are fractions whose denominators are not the same. for example 3/8 and 1/2, their denominators are 8 and 2.
They are fractions that have different denominators as for instance 3/4 and 5/8 are dissimilar fractions.
In adding or subtracting dissimilar fractions, you will need first to get its LCD or least common denominator. For example: 3/2 + 5/3 = ? We will get the LCD of two and three and we will get 6 So the equation will become: 9/6 + 10/6 Then the final answer will be : 19/6
