Step-by-step explanation:
to find a common denominator, you have to find a number that "works" with every other number.
for example, say you have
2/4 and 8/12
First you need to find the common factor between 4 and 12, so list all your fours
4, 8, 12, 16, 20
Now list all your twelves
12, 24, 36, 48, 60
to find the common factor you look at both your list of numbers and find one that's the same, sometimes it takes a long list of numbers to find the common factor, but you will run into one.
So by looking at our list we see that 4 and 12 share the common factor of 12. but since 8/12 already has a denominator of 12, we are going to leave it alone.
now think about what you would multiply 4 by, to get to 12. The answer is
4 x 3 = 12
to make the numerator correct, you multiply it by the same number you did 4, so since your faction is 2/4 you should do 2 x 3 = 6
now you have your answer,
2/4 and 8/12 turns into
6/12 and 8/12
and that's how you find it, let me know if you have questions :)

Answer:
- The first factor is itself the sum of two terms
- The solution is the product of two factors
Step-by-step explanation:
The math symbols of the expression include parentheses, a plus sign, and a multiplication symbol. The order of operations tells you to do the "plus" operation inside parentheses first. The numbers involved in a "plus" operation, or sum, are called "terms." The result is their sum.
Then the second operation in the order of operations is to do the multiplication of the sum on the left of the multiplication symbol by the number to the right of the multiplication symbol. The numbers involved in multiplication are called "factors". The result of multiplication is called a "product."
Matching up this vocabulary with what you see, you realize ...
- the first factor is the sum of two terms
- the end result of evaluating the expression is the product of two factors
