You can do it many ways-
1. Multiply the denominators together and then you get your answer.
2. List out the equivalent fractions against each other and then you keep going until you find one that has the same denominator.
3. You use the sock method. For Example: 1/4 and 1/2.four and two are the denominators. 4 and 2 can be divided by 2. 4 divided by 2= 2 and 2 divided by 2= 1. You can't go any farther so you multiply all the numbers. 2,2 and 1. That is 4. (Sorry if this is confusing but its better to do a visual)
Hope the other ones helped though!
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.
Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators and adjust the fractions accordingly
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
Pick two of the fractions and find the Least Common Multiple of those two denominators. Then take that number, and find the Least Common Multiple between that and the third denominator. This number will be the Least Common Denominator between the three fractions.If you don't care to find the Least common denominator, then just take the three denominators, and multiply them together.
You have to state the denominators to expect an answer
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.
Multiply any two denominators together. Their product will be a common denominator of them both.
Common denominators are multiples that are being used as denominators. The process to find them is the same.
No.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the different denominators then rearranging the numerators and denominators accordingly.
You can multiply the two denominators, or you can find the least common multiple for the two denominators.
You need at least two denominators to find something in common between them.
By finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
Multiply them together.
To add and subtract fractions, you need common denominators. To find the common denominator, find the LCM of the denominators you wish to add or subtract.
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.
No. If the denominators are the same, you subtract the numerators. If the denominators are different you have to find the least common denominator.
