How are a common denominator and a common multiple different?
They are essentially the same. A common denominator is the common multiple of a set of denominators of a set of fractions.
Are The greatest common divisor and the least common denominator the same?
No.
How do you change a fraction so they have the same denominator?
First, find a common denominator for the two (or more) fractions. Then, for each fraction, multiply numerator and denominator by the same number (different numbers for different fractions, though), to convert to the common denominator.
What do you do to the numerator in a lowest common denominator problem?
Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the same amount that you multiply the denominator of that fraction.
How do you solve a fraction problem when you don't have the same denominator?
If you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
How do you keep the denominator the same?
you find the common denominator
Denominator that is the same in two or more fractions?
That's a "common" denominator. "Common" means "same for both" or "same for all".
A denominator that is the same in two or more fractions?
A "common denominator"
What are fractions that have the same denominator called?
Like Fractions
What is the denominator in the same in two or more fractions?
That's a common denominator.
When two or more fractions have the same denominator it is called what?
Common denominator
How are a common denominator and a common multiple different?
They are essentially the same. A common denominator is the common multiple of a set of denominators of a set of fractions.
How do you subtract mixed fractions when they have the same denominator?
The numerator of the answer is the result of subtracting the numerators of the fractions, and the denominator of the fraction is the same as the common denominator.
Why do you need a common denominator?
Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.
Are The greatest common divisor and the least common denominator the same?
No.
What is the common denominator of 1198?
Two or more numbers are needed to find their lowest common denominator which is the same as their lowest common multiple.
What do you call fractions with the same denominator?
They are called like or similar fractions.
