QuestionFind the least common denominator of . A. 110 B. 770 C. 2,695 D. 8,470 E. \$ 9,290
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The denominators of the fractions are35,77, and22. . We are looking for the least common denominator (LCD) which is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the denominators.
STEP 2
The least common denominator of the fractions can be found by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. The LCM of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers.
STEP 3
To find the LCM of the numbers, we first find the prime factorization of each number.
Prime factorization of35 is .
Prime factorization of77 is .
Prime factorization of22 is .
STEP 4
The LCM of the numbers is found by multiplying each prime factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.
STEP 5
Calculate the LCM.
The least common denominator of the fractions , and is770.
