Best Answer

The bottom number of a fraction is called the denominator. In order to add and subtract fractions with different denominators, it is necessary to make them the same, or "common."

Example: 1/4 + 1/5. The common denominator is 20.

1/4 = 5/20

1/5 = 4/20

1/4 + 1/5 = 5/20 + 4/20 = 9/20

How cross language support is achieved using cts and cls in net?

The CLS, or Common Language Specification, specifies the "lowest common demoniator" of .NET languages. For example, VB.NET is not case sensitive but C# is. In order to have cross language support, you would have to not have two variables at the same scope that only differ by case in C#. You could then mark the class (or assembly) as CLSComplaint ([CLSComplaint(true)], and then use that object in any other CLR language.

When a whole number is divided by a larger whole number is the result a whole number?

No, the result will be less than one; shown as either a fraction or a decimal. It can be but not necessarily. It could also be a fraction. Watch. I'll give 2 examples. The first is you have 8 divided by 4 or 8/4 your answer here is a whole number because it divides evenly into it. But if you have 8/5 or even 8/6 you don't get a 'perfect' whole number you get a decimal. (1.333...or 1.3 and a bar over the 3). The question is worded such that the larger integer will always be in the demoniator, therefore the answer is no.
