<P>The least common multiple of two or more nonzero whole numbers is the =

smallest whole number that is divisible by each of the numbers. There =
are two=20
common methods for finding the least common multiple of 2 numbers.=20
<P><B>Method 1:</B>=20
<P>List the multiples of each number, and look for the smallest number =
that=20
appears in each list.=20
<P><FONT color=3D#0000ff>Example:</FONT>=20
<P>Find the least common multiple of 12 and 42. We list the multiples of =

<P>42: 42, 84, 126, 168, 190, ...=20
<P>We see that the number 84 is the smallest number that appears in each =

list.<BR>
<P><B>Method 2:</B>=20
<P>Factor each of the numbers into primes. For each different prime =
number in=20
either of the factorizations, follow these steps:=20
<P>1. Count the number of times it appears in each of the =
factorizations.=20
<P>2. Take the largest of these two counts.=20
<P>3. Write down that prime number as many times as the count in step 2. =

<P>To find the least common multiple take the product of all of the =
prime=20
numbers written down in steps 1, 2, and 3.<BR>
<P><FONT color=3D#0000ff>Example:</FONT>=20

<P>The prime numbers 2, 3, and 5 appear in the factorizations. We follow =
steps 1=20
through 3 for each of these primes.=20
<P>The number 2 occurs 3 times in the first factorization and 1 time in =
the=20
second, so we will use three 2's.=20
<P>The number 3 occurs 1 time in the first factorization and 2 times in =
the=20
second, so we will use two 3's.=20
<P>The number 5 occurs 0 times in the first factorization and 1 time in =
the=20

<P>The least common multiple is the product of three 2's, two 3's, and =

<H3><A name=3Dequivalentfractions>Equivalent Fractions</A></H3>
<P>Equivalent fractions are different fractions which name the same =

<P><FONT color=3D#0000ff>Examples:</FONT>=20
<P>The fractions 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 100/200, and 521/1042 are all equivalent =

<BR>We can test if two fractions are equivalent by cross-multiplying =

<P><FONT color=3D#0000ff>Example:</FONT>=20

the product of=20

18&nbsp;=D7&nbsp;7&nbsp;=3D&nbsp;126. <BR>Since the cross-products are =

<HR>

<H3><A name=3Dcomparingfractions>Comparing Fractions</A></H3>
<P>1. To compare fractions with the same denominator, look at their =
numerators.=20
The larger fraction is the one with the larger numerator. <BR>2. To =
compare=20
fractions with different denominators, take the cross product. The first =

cross-product is the product of the first numerator and the second =
denominator.=20
The second cross-product is the product of the second numerator and the =
first=20
denominator. Compare the cross products using the following rules:<BR>a. =
If the=20
cross-products are equal, the fractions are equivalent. <BR>b. If the =
first=20
cross product is larger, the first fraction is larger.<BR>c. If the =
second cross=20
product is larger, the second fraction is larger.=20
<P><FONT color=3D#0000ff>Example:</FONT>=20
