Common DenominatorWhen the denominators of two or more fractions are the same, they are known as the common denominators. The least common denominator (LCD) is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a given set of fractions. Addition and subtraction of fractions and comparing two or more fractions is possible only if the fractions have common denominators. For example, if we need to add 3/8 + 1/8. Since the denominators are the same, they are like fractions and can be instantly added up and the result will be 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2. Like fractions are the fractions that have the same denominators. Example: 5/15, 3/15, 17/15, and 31/15. Unlike fractions are the fractions which have different denominators. Example: 2/7, 9/11, 3/13, and 39/46. Let us see some examples here to add and subtract fractions with common denominators.
For different denominators, we need to convert the given unlike fractions to like fractions by changing the fractions to equivalent fractions having the same denominator. This can be done by finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is known as LCD (Least Common Denominator). Let us understand this with the help of an Solution:
