7/8, 2/5, 2/3 common denominator? by Bob1062

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said, before...multiply the three denominators to get a common one. so you get 120 as your common denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it's faster than trying to find the common multiply in each of these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it aint right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhh 120 is the common denominator of 8 5 and three. It might not be the least common denominator. But it is a common denominator nevertheless.
