Finding Common Denominators
... We will use multiples in finding the least common multiple (LCM) which is the smallest multiple that 2 or more numbers have in common. Another way of saying this is the smallest number which 2 or more numbers both go into evenly. The LCM will always be our least common denominator (LCD) which is the ...

Subtracting Fractions with the same Denominator
... same, the fraction with the largest numerator is the larger fraction. For example 5/8 is larger than 3/8 because all of the pieces are the same and five pieces are more than three pieces. If the numerators of two fractions are the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fractio ...
