What are the differentiate of GCF LCM and LCD?

Answer 1

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers.

The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest number that all the members of a given set of numbers can divide into evenly with no remainder.

The lowest common denominator, or LCD, is essentially the same thing as the LCM except the numbers being compared are the bottom parts of fractions.

Answer 2

The process of finding them is the same. The difference is the function of the numbers. With an LCM, you're finding a multiple of whole numbers. With an LCD, you're finding a multiple of whole numbers that happen to be denominators.

Answer 3

Essentially. The same process is used to find both. The LCM compares whole numbers, the LCD compares whole numbers that are denominators.

Answer 4

The "D" in LCD stands for denominator. The LCD is the same process as the LCM of the denominators.

Answer 5

LCM can apply to terms which don't look like fractions

LCD (denominator) has to be fractions.

The LCM of the denominators is the LCD.

Answer 6

They are practically the same except for the fact that LCD is for fractions and LCM is not.

Answer 7

When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators you must find their LCD and this done by finding their LCM

Answer 8

The least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
