What is the differeince between common factors and common multiples?
Common factors go into the numbers, the numbers go into common multiples.
How do you know whether to use common factors or multiples to solve a problem?
The hcf is useful in reducing fractions to their lowest terms and the lcm is useful in finding the lowest common denominator of fractions that have different denominators that need to be added or subtracted.
What do factors have to do with real life?
Number factors help find common denominators in fractions and reducing fractions. In algebra they are used to find the answers to higher level equations like quadratics.
Do you do factors of the greatest common factor or multiples?
When doing fractions it is the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM). You want the GCF when you are reducing fractions to their simplest form. When changing the denominators to a common one, you want the LCM.
What is the LCM of the denominators of two or more fractions?
The least common multiple of two or more denominators is known as the least common denominator, or LCD.
Fractions with unlike denominators and no common factors to have common denominators?
Multiply them by each other.
How do you write the common factors of the numerator and denominator?
Numerators and denominators are just numbers. List the factors of each and circle the numbers that appear on both lists. These are common factors.
How are common multiples and common denominators the same and different?
Common multiples and common denominators can be found using the same process. They differ in their function. Common denominators are common multiples that are functioning as denominators.
How do you add three fractions with unlike denominators?
-- Find a common denominator. (It will be a number of which all three denominators are factors. The best choice is their least common multiple.) -- Change the fractions to their equivalents with the common denominator. -- Then add their numerators to get the numerator of their sum.
Do you have to change the denominators when multiplying fractions?
No. To multiple fractions multiple the numerators together and multiply the denominators together and simplify (by dividing both numerator and denominator of the result by common factors until the only common factor is 1). The denominators only need to be the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
Is the least common multiple of the denominators?
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators.
How do you write fractions with common denominators?
multiply the denominators
What is the common multiple of the denominators?
The least common multiple of the denominators is knows as the LCD or least common denominator.
What way is subracting fractions with unlike denominators like adding fractions with unlike denominators?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.
What do naracoorte yarrangobilly jenolen wombean have in common?
Denominators. This is where the term, common denominators comes from.
How are common denominator any common multiple alike?
Common denominators are created by finding the common multiples of unlike denominators.
What is the lowest common multiple of the denominators?
You have to state the denominators to expect an answer
