They can help you find a common denominator by the bottoms one of each fraction if the top ones don't have the same denominator. Then find the simplest or non-simplest denominator. Like when you have 2/7+ 2/3=? Well that equals: 20/21. How you find that out is by finding what 7 and 3 have in common is by using a multiplication table until you reach a number they both equal because 7X3= 21 so that's how you get the bottom number. Then you just add the top and that's how you do fractions and the denominator.

The process of finding a lowest common denominator is the same as finding a least common multiple. Example: 1/30 and 1/42
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 7 = 42
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
210 is the lowest common denominator.
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.
Find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator, then divide the numerator by greatest common factor and then divide denominator by greatest common factor, for a new simplified fraction.
They can help you to find the Lowest Common Multiple and Highest Common Factor of numbers which is useful when dealing with fractions.
Since we do not know what the fraction is - we cannot help you !
