Vocabulary Least Common Multiple The smallest non-zero multiple that is common to two or more numbers. Least Common Denominator The least common multiple of two denominators.

Example 1 a.Find the least common multiple of 8 and 12: One method for finding the least common multiple is to list out the multiples of each number until the same number appears on each list. Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, … Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, … The LCM is 24.

Example 1 Continued… b.Find the least common multiple of 4 and 5: Another method to find the LCM is to choose the largest number, in this case 5, and look at its multiples. Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, … Find the smallest multiple that 4 divides into evenly. 5 – NO 10 – NO 15 – NO 20 – YES (20  4 = 5) The LCM is 20.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions 1.If denominators are not equal, rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with common denominators using the least common denominator. 2.Add or subtract the numerators. 3.Write the sum or difference over the common denominator. 4.Write the fraction in simplest form.

Example 2 Find the value of. These fractions already have a common denominator. Add the numerators. Write in simplest form.

Example 3 On Monday, the New Orleans International Airport reported inch of rain. On Tuesday it rained inch. What was the total rainfall for these two days? The least common multiple of 8 and 16 is 16. Write as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 16. Write the sum over the LCD. Change from an improper faction to a mixed number. It rained a total of inches in New Orleans on Monday and Tuesday.

Example 4 Find the value of. The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Write each fraction as equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12. Write the difference over the LCD.
