Question
Find the least common denominator of 
and 
?
- 36
- 18
- 8
- 24
Hint:
In this question we have to find the least common denominator and for that we have to find the least common multiple of denominators. Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple of denominator of a set of fractions. The method of calculating the LCD is same as calculation of Least Common Multiple of fractions denominators. The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the lowest possible number that can be divisible by both numbers.
The correct answer is: 24
The least common denominator is the lowest common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions.
Step1: We are given fractions and
And we have to find the LCM of denominators of the fractions i.e. 
and 
.
Step2: We know that Multiples of are:
And the multiples of are:
Step3: Now we have to find the LCM of and .
From the about multiples of and it can be easily seen that the least common multiple of is 
Hence the least common denominator of and is 24.

Make use of area model to determine the value of 441 ÷ 21.
We know that division is repetitive subtraction. So, we can subtract 21 from 441 again and again till we reach 0.
