lowest common denominator

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10 is the smallest number that 10 and 5 share x^4 is the smallest "number" that x^2 and x^4 share

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the how part tho, i cant recall

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I have to somehow make the bottom the same on both sides.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

right; and since the 10 part wont reduce we are stuck with it and the x^4 wont reduce either so we need at least: 10x^4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

multiply the left by x^2/x^2 and the right by 2/2 and the denominators should match up and be "lowest"
