LCM VS. GCF
Find the LCM and GCF of
the following:
a. 12 and 30 d. 18 and 24
b. 24 and 72 e. 23 and 10
c. 36 and 42
Kinds of fractions
A. Fractions can be
classified as:
1. Proper fraction
2. Improper fraction
3. Mixed number
Proper fraction
- Is a fraction less than
one; its numerator is less
than its denominator
Examples: 1/4, 2/3, 1/2
Improper fraction
- Is a fraction greater
than one; its numerator
is greater than its
denominator
Examples: 5/4, 7/3, 3/2
Mixed number
•
- Is a combination of a
whole number and a
proper fraction
Examples: 5 1
Kinds of fractions
B. Fractions can also be
classified as:
1. Similar fractions
2. Dissimilar fractions
Similar fractions
•
- Are fractions with the
same denominator
Example:
Dissimilar fractions
•
- Are fractions with
different denominator
Example:
Reducing fractions to
• Lowest Terms
A fraction is said to be in its lowest
term if the numerator and
denominator are relatively prime.
Example: Reduce the following
fractions to lowest term:
a. b. c. d.

Example: Change the following mixed
numbers to improper fractions:
Changing dissimilar fraction to
similar fraction
To change dissimilar fractions to
similar fractions, get the Least
Common Multiple (LCM) of the
denominators. This LCM becomes the
new common denominator of the
fractions.
