@EveryOneElseThatWillHelpMe
common Denominator is the smallest number that they both multiply to
common denominator for what ? numbers?
thxx so much @MeganLeex3
24
6,12,18,24,30,... 8,16,24,32,...
stop at 24

No probs!
it gets harder with bigger numbers there is a method, but with small numbers you usually just think of it
a good way to check is when you divide the number choices by the 2 numbers the smallest number they both go into is the answer
i let the math do it \[\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=n\] \[\frac{(8)}{6}+\frac{(8)}{8}=(8)n\] \[\frac{4}{3}+1=(8)n\] \[\frac{4(3)}{3}+1(3)=(8)(3)n\] \[4+9=(8)(3)n\] the number in front of n is the greatest common denominator the rest is just dunnage
lol,, 1(3) is not 9
