find the LCD of these fractions and explain how to do it.

1/4 and 6/12x

5 answers

To find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions 1/4 and 6/12:

1/4 and 6/12x can be simplified as follows:
1/4 is already in its simplest form.
6/12 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 to get 1/2.

Now, to find the LCD, we need to consider the denominators of both fractions: 4 and 2.

The LCD is the least common multiple of the denominators, which in this case is 4.

So, the LCD of 1/4 and 6/12x is 4.
the answer is not four.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response.

To find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions 1/4 and 6/12x:

1/4 is already in its simplest form.

To simplify 6/12x, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by 6 to get 1/2x.

Now, the denominators of the fractions are 4 and 2x respectively.

To find the LCD, we take the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 2x.

The prime factorization of 4 is 2^2 and 2x is already in its simplest form.

The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor present. So, LCM(4, 2x) = 2^2 * 1 * x = 4x.

Therefore, the LCD of 1/4 and 6/12x is 4x.
the lowest common denominator is 12x
You are correct, and I apologize for my error in the previous responses.
