The common denominator of 9, 5, and 8 is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. To find the LCM, you need to factorize each number into its prime factors: 9 = 3^2, 5 = 5^1, and 8 = 2^3. The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers, which in this case is 2^3 * 3^2 * 5^1 = 360. Therefore, the common denominator of 9, 5, and 8 is 360.

The common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 9 5 and 8, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.

The least common denominator (LCD) is 630.
The common denominator of any two or more whole numbers, such as 8 9 6 and 5, will always be one (1) because 'common denominator' refers to the denominators of two or more fractions or mixed numbers, not whole numbers. So, a set of whole numbers (x,x) would have to be converted to their fraction equivalents, i.e., x/1, which will always yield a denominator of 1.
11 over 24 (11/24) Here's how: You need to find a common denominator. The lowest common denominator is 24, but you can use any common denominator to subtract. So convert 5/6 to 24ths: multiply numerator and denominator by 4 = 20/24, then multiply numerator and denominator of 3/8 by 3 = 9/24. Now subtract 9 from 20 = 11, which is the numerator of the difference: 11/24. This is already in simplest form.
you can get a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together For example 1/5 plus 1/9 common denominator is 5 x 9 = 45 9/45 + 5/45 = 14/45
