Hi!
This question is about math.
![\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D)
<u><em>Least Common Factor 4 or 8: 8</em></u>
<u><em>Factors of 4 : 1, 2, 4 (prime factorization) (2*2)</em></u>
<u><em>Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8 (prime factorization) (2*2*2)</em></u>
<u><em>Least Common Factor of a,b is the smallest positive number that divisible by both a and b.</em></u>
<em>Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either 4 or 8.</em>
<em>Then multiply by the numbers.</em>
![2*2*2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%2A2%2A2)
![=8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D8)
<em>Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its corresponding denominator to turn it into the Least Common Factor of 8.</em>
<em>For 1/4 multiply the denominator and numerator by the 2.</em>
![\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*2}{4*2}=\frac{2}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%2A2%7D%7B4%2A2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B8%7D)
![\frac{2}{8}+\frac{5}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B8%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D)
<em>Since the denominator are equal, combine the fractions.</em>
![\frac{2+5}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B2%2B5%7D%7B8%7D)
<em>Add the numbers 2+5=7</em>
![=\frac{7}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B8%7D)
Hope this helps! Thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly. Have a great day.
