How do you use the LCM (least common multiple) to write two or more fractions with a common denominator?

1 answer:

7 0

E.g. 1/4 and 1/3
The LCM of the denominators (4 and 3) is 12
So 1/4 can be written as 3/12
And 1/3 can be written as 4/12
You can then add the fractions if you wish to make 7/12

X and y are both bigger than 30. x and y have HCF 21 and LCM 1617. Find x and y.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The values of x and y are 99 and 343

The HCF of numbers is the highest common factors of the numbers

The LCM of numbers is the lowest common multiple of the numbers

The HCF and the LCM are given as:

$HCF = 21$

$LCM = 1617$

Multiply the HCF and the LCM

$HCF \times LCM = 21 \times 1617$

$HCF \times LCM = 33957$

The product of the numbers x and y equals the product of the HCF and the LCM.

So, we have:

$x \times y = 33957$

<h3>Prime Factors</h3>

Express 33957 as a prime factor

$x \times y = 3^2 \times 7^3 \times 11$

Rewrite the equation as

$x \times y = 99 \times 7^3$

$x \times y = 99 \times 343$

By comparison:

$x = 99$

$y= 343$

Hence, the values of x and y are 99 and 343

What does this mean!

DENIUS [597]

This is describing how your graph should be numbered. If I understand it, it is saying that your y-axis should be numbered by 2s while your x-axis should be numbered by 1s.

Below, I have attached an example graph that may help you understand.
