What the difference between like and unlike fraction?
fractions having same denominators are like fractions & others are unlike fractions
How can the greatest common factor and least common multiple help you work with fractions?
Finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator of a fraction and dividing them both by it will give you the simplest form of that fraction. Finding the LCM of unlike denominators and converting them to it will make it possible to add and subtract unlike fractions.
What are the rules of the dissimilar fractions?
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.
What problems can be solved using gcf and LCM?
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
Why would you want to rename fractions with the LCD?
Possible reasons: To add or subtract fractions, To compare fractions with different denominators.
