When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms
You find the least comon multiples of the fractions' denominators.
Factors are useful when you're trying to reduce fractions. Multiples are useful when you're trying to find a least common denominator.
3/5 and 3/20you need to find the LCM of 5 and 20 multiples of 5: 0,5,10,15,20 multiples of 20: 0,20,40,60,80 the LCM of thedenominators,5 and 20, is 20
Any number can be a common multiple of two or more fractions. The concept of common multiples is useful only in the context of multiples of integers.

The concept of LCM is not applicable to fractions. This is because all numbers are evenly divisible by all non-zero numbers and all numbers are multiples of all non-zero numbers.

Use the LCM when you are adding and subtracting unlike fractions. Use the GCF when you are simplifying fractions.
Nothing. Fractions don't have highest terms. Numbers don't stop, multiples don't stop.
