common Denominator is the smallest number that they both multiply to

No probs!

it gets harder with bigger numbers
there is a method, but with small numbers you usually just think of it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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
