Review: Common Multiple

A number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

Common Multiples of 3 & 6:

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24…6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42…

Review: Least Common Multiple

The smallest common multiple of a set of two or more numbers.

6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Adding Fractions With Unlike Denominators

Step 1: Find the multiples of each denominator.

1= 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

1= 10, 20, 30, 40, 50+

That’s right 2. And we know that if we

multiply by 2 at the bottom then we must also multiply by 2 at

the top.1

Check to see if the smaller denominator divides evenly into the larger denominator.If it does, use the larger denominator for your LCD or LCM.

3 will divide evenly into 9, so 9 is your LCD or LCM.
