It is usually easiest to add, subtract, or compare fractions when each is expressed with the same denominator, called a "common denominator". For example, it's obvious that
and that
, since each fraction has the common denominator 12. But it's not quite obvious what
equals, or whether
is greater than or less than
, because the denominators are different. SO YOU SEE, Any common denominator will do, but usually the least common denominator is desirable because it makes the rest of the calculation as simple as possible.[1]Basically, the least common denominator of a set of fractions is the least number that is a multiple of all the denominators: their "least common multiple". The product of the denominators is always a common denominator, as in:
but it's not always the least common denominator, as in:
Here, 36 is the least common multiple of 12 and 18. Their product, 216, is also a common denominator, but calculating with that denominator involves larger numbers:
