video gaming music and party video gamesWhat is the least common denominator of 3 4 and 5?
The LCM of 3,4,5 3 , 4,5 is 2⋅2⋅3⋅5=60 2 ⋅2⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 = 60 .
Also know, what is the least common denominator of 3 4?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) ofsomenumbers is the smallest number that the numbers are factorsof.Like the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12, because 12 is thesmallestnumber that 3 and 4 are both factors for.
Then, how do I find the least common denominator?
Here are the steps to follow:
- Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (whichiscalled the Least Common Denominator).
- Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to maketheirdenominators the same as the least common denominator.
- Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
Say we have listed the first few multiples of 4and5: the common multiples are those that are found inbothlists: The multiples of 4are:4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44, The multiples of5are: 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,
