Definition of Multiplying by the least common denominator?
Ordinarily, one finds the least common denominator (LCD) of a set of common fractions in order to add or subtract the set of fractions. The LCD is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the set of fractions. Without knowing whatis to be multiplied by the LCD, and why, this question is ambiguous.
When is it useful to know multiples of a number?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms or finding the LCD of fractions
How do you write fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCD?
(1) find the LCD. (2) find the factor that each original denominator needs to be multiplied by to get the LCD. (3) multiply both the numerator and the denominator by that factor.
Common denominator for each pair of fractions?
2/3 and 5/9The LCD is 9.
What is the least common denominator for 1 2 and 1 3?
The LCD for these two fractions is 6.
Do you need to find the LCD in multipliying?
When multiplying fractions, it is not necessary to find the LCD first.

What is the LCD for fractions?
The LCD for fractions is the LCM (least common multiple) of all of the denominators.

IS THE LCD OF TWO FRACTIONS THE SAME AS THE LCM NUMERATORS AND FRACTIONS?
The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
What is the algorithm for adding fractions?
LCD
How the LCD of two or more fractions could be of use?
Once you find the LCD, convert the fractions to their equivalents and then you can add and/or subtract them correctly.
What is the lcd of 7 4 and 2?
The LCD, or Lowest Common Denominator, is the smallest multiple of each of the denominators of a set of fractions. So, assuming that 2, 4 and 5 are denominators of fractions (1/2, 1/4 and 1/5, for example), the LCD would be 20, because 20 is the lowest number that 2, 4 and 5 multiply into. So, your new fractions would be 10/20, 5/20 and 4/20. The purpose of finding the LCD is to allow for multiplying fractions together, or simply comparing them easily.
