The LCD is the LCM (least common multiple) of all the denominators. The LCM of 4, 16, and 8 is 16, which is the multiple of the highest power of prime factors from all of the given numbers (24 = 16). Prime factors: 4 = 22; 16 = 24; 8 = 22 (highest power shown in bold type) The given fractions with an LCM would be 12/16, 7/16, and 10/16.

Is it always necessary to find the least common denominator to compare the sizes of fractions?
When comparing fractions you must find a common denominator; by finding the least common denominator it will keep the numbers (numerators and denominator) smaller .
Find the least common denominator for fractions with denominators 9 12 and 16?
The least common denominator is 144.
How do you find the least common denominator of a set of unlike fractions?
least common denominator is nothing but least common multiple of denominators.
How do you subtract fractions in simplest form?
You first need to find a common denominator, not necessarily the least common denominator. Next, you rename the fractions according to the common denominator. Only then can you subtract the fractions. After subtraction you should simplify the answer.

How do you find the common denominator of 3 fractions?
Pick two of the fractions and find the Least Common Multiple of those two denominators. Then take that number, and find the Least Common Multiple between that and the third denominator. This number will be the Least Common Denominator between the three fractions.If you don't care to find the Least common denominator, then just take the three denominators, and multiply them together.

How do you order 2 or more fractions from least to greatest?
you can find the least common denominator and then order them.
Adding unlike fractions?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
