4. The family has five sons, each of them has one sister. How many children are there in the family? (6 children.)

III ... Lesson topic message

- In the last lesson, we reduced fractions to a new denominator. Today we will find a common denominator for several fractions and find out what the lowest common denominator of fractions is.

IV. Learning new material

1. Any 2 fractions can be reduced to the same denominator, or, otherwise, to a common denominator.

- Find some common denominators of fractions. What is their lowest common denominator?

The common denominator of fractions can be any common multiple of their denominators. .

In this case, as a rule, they try to choose the lowest common denominator (LCN) - then calculations with fractions are easier. The lowest common denominator is the lowest common multiple of the denominators of the given fractions.

2. Consider with examples how you can find the NOZ of fractions.

1) Bring the fractions 7/21 and 2/7 to a common denominator.

- What is special about numbers 21 and 7? (21 is divisible by 7.)

(The reasoning is given by the teacher.)

- The larger denominator - the number 21 - is divisible by the smaller denominator 7, therefore, it can be taken as the common denominator of these fractions. This common denominator is the smallest possible.

This means that you only need to reduce the fraction 2/7 to the denominator 21. To do this, we will find an additional factor: 21: 7 = 3.

- What conclusion can be drawn? (If one denominator of a fraction is divisible by the other, then NOZ will be the larger denominator.)

2) Bring the fractions 3/4 and 2/5 to a common denominator.

- What can you say about the numbers 4 and 5? (The numbers are relatively prime.) The common denominator of these fractions must be divisible by both 4 and 5, i.e. be their common multiple. There are infinitely many common multiples of 4 and 5: 20, 40, 60, 80, etc. The smallest multiple of 20 is the product of 4 and 5.

So, you need to bring each of the fractions to the denominator 20:

- What conclusion can be drawn? (If the denominators of the fractions are coprime numbers, then their product will be the lowest common denominator.)

Common denominator of fractions

Fractions AND have the same denominator. They say they have common denominator 25. Fractions and have different denominators, but they can be brought to a common denominator using the basic property of fractions. To do this, we find a number that is divisible by 8 and 3, for example, 24. Let us bring the fractions to the denominator 24, for this we multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by additional factor 3. The additional factor is usually written on the left above the numerator:

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by an additional factor of 8:

Let us bring the fractions to a common denominator. Most often, fractions result in the lowest common denominator, which is the lowest common multiple of the fraction's denominator. Since the LCM (8, 12) = 24, then the fractions can be reduced to the denominator 24. Find the additional factors of the fractions: 24: 8 = 3, 24:12 = 2. Then

Several fractions can be brought to a common denominator.

Example. Let us bring the fractions to a common denominator. Since 25 = 5 2, 10 = 2 5, 6 = 2 3, then LCM (25, 10, 6) = 2 3 5 2 = 150.

Let's find additional factors of fractions and bring them to the denominator 150:

Comparison of fractions

In fig. 4.7 shows a segment AB of length 1. It is divided into 7 equal parts. The segment AC has a length and the segment AD has a length.


The length of the segment AD is greater than the length of the segment AC, i.e. the fraction is greater than the fraction

Of the two fractions with a common denominator, the one with the larger numerator is larger, i.e.

For example, or

To compare any two fractions, they are brought to a common denominator, and then the rule for comparing fractions with a common denominator is applied.

Example. Compare fractions

Solution. LCM (8, 14) = 56. Then Since 21> 20, then

If the first fraction is less than the second, and the second is less than the third, then the first is less than the third.

Proof. Let three fractions be given. Let's bring them to a common denominator. Let after that they have the form Since the first fraction is less

second, then r< s. Так как вторая дробь меньше третьей, то s < t. Из полученных неравенств для натуральных чисел следует, что r < t, тогда первая дробь меньше третьей.

The fraction is called correct if its numerator is less than the denominator.

The fraction is called wrong if its numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

For example, fractions are correct and fractions are incorrect.

The correct fraction is less than 1 and the improper fraction is greater than or equal to 1.

In this lesson, we will look at reducing fractions to a common denominator and solve problems on this topic. Let's give a definition to the concept of a common denominator and an additional factor, remember about coprime numbers. Let us define the concept of the least common denominator (LCD) and solve a number of problems to find it.

Topic: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominators

Lesson: Converting Fractions to a Common Denominator

Repetition. The main property of a fraction.

If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied or divided by the same natural number, then you get a fraction equal to it.

For example, the numerator and denominator of a fraction can be divided by 2. We get a fraction. This operation is called fraction reduction. You can also perform the inverse transformation by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 2. In this case, we say that we have reduced the fraction to a new denominator. The number 2 is called the complementary factor.

Output. A fraction can be reduced to any denominator, a multiple of the denominator of a given fraction. In order to bring a fraction to a new denominator, its numerator and denominator are multiplied by an additional factor.

1. Bring the fraction to the denominator 35.

35 is a multiple of 7, that is, 35 is divisible by 7 without a remainder. This means that this transformation is possible. Let's find an additional factor. To do this, divide 35 by 7. We get 5. Multiply the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by 5.

2. Bring the fraction to the denominator 18.

Let's find an additional factor. To do this, we divide the new denominator by the original one. We get 3. Multiply the numerator and denominator of this fraction by 3.

3. Bring the fraction to the denominator 60.

By dividing 60 by 15, we get an additional multiplier. It is 4. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.

4. Bring the fraction to the denominator 24

In simple cases, the reduction to a new denominator is performed in the mind. It is only accepted to indicate an additional multiplier outside the bracket just to the right and above the original fraction.

A fraction can be reduced to a denominator of 15 and a fraction can be reduced to a denominator of 15. Fractions also have a common denominator of 15.

The common denominator of fractions can be any common multiple of their denominators. For simplicity, fractions result in the lowest common denominator. It is equal to the least common multiple of the denominators of these fractions.

Example. Reduce to the lowest common denominator of the fraction and.

First, find the least common multiple of the denominators of these fractions. This number is 12. Let's find an additional factor for the first and for the second fraction. To do this, we divide 12 by 4 and by 6. Three is an additional factor for the first fraction, and two for the second. Let us bring the fractions to the denominator 12.

We brought fractions to a common denominator, that is, we found fractions equal to them, which have the same denominator.

Rule. To bring fractions to the lowest common denominator, you need

First, find the least common multiple of the denominators of these fractions, it will be their lowest common denominator;

Secondly, divide the lowest common denominator by the denominators of these fractions, that is, find an additional factor for each fraction.

Third, multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by its additional factor.

a) Reduce the fraction and to a common denominator.

The lowest common denominator is 12. The additional factor for the first fraction is 4, and for the second, 3. Bring the fractions to the denominator 24.

b) Reduce the fraction and to a common denominator.

The lowest common denominator is 45. Dividing 45 by 9 by 15 gives 5 and 3, respectively. Bring the fractions to the denominator 45.

c) Reduce the fraction and to a common denominator.

The common denominator is 24. The additional factors are 2 and 3, respectively.

Sometimes it is difficult to orally find the lowest common multiple for the denominators of given fractions. Then the common denominator and additional factors are found using prime factorization.

Reduce the fraction and to a common denominator.

Let's expand the numbers 60 and 168 into prime factors. Let's write the decomposition of 60 and add the missing factors 2 and 7 from the second decomposition. Multiply 60 by 14 to get a common denominator of 840. The complementary factor for the first fraction is 14. The complementary factor for the second fraction is 5. Bring the fractions to a common denominator of 840.
