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 !

If you find the common denominator for the fractions, then the bottom will stay the same :) BUT sometimes it is diffacult to find the common denominator so you may need help
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The least common denominator (LCD) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! 4x - 3 - 1x = 3x - 3.

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.
Finding the prime factorisation of both denominators makes it easier to find the LCD. Simply make two columns, one for each denominator, and write the prime factors side by side. For each factor, note the larger exponent; then multiply out the list.
Divisibility rules help you find the factors of a number. Once you've found the factors for two or more numbers, you can find what they have in common. Take 231 and 321. If you know the divisibility rules, you know that they are both divisible by 3, so 3 is a common factor.
The common factors of the denominators are 1 and 3, which won't help you. The least common denominator is 54, which will.
greatest common factor, or GCF
Knowing the least common multiple of the denominators will help you find a common denominator when adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Knowing the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator will help you reduce the fraction if possible.

Perimeter is taking the length of each side and adding them together. Therefore, if you have the lengths as fractions, you find the common denominator and add the fractions normally.
