“My Puppy Makes a Pizza”

My puppy makes pizza.He bakes every dayIn a chef hat and apronhe's quite the gourmet.

He'll roll out some doughand he'll give it a toss,then spread on a generoustopping of sauce.

He'll heap it with cheesesand mountains of meat,but, still, it's not somethingyou'd probably eat.

For though he makes pizzawith obvious flair,it all ends up coveredwith slobber and with hair.

Do you remember the GCF?

The GCF, or greatest common factor of 18 and 27 is 9.

Now, which one was the denominator?

The number on the bottom!

Now we must blend our knowledge…

How can we link the term “least common multiple” with the

term “Least Common Denominator”?Hmmm…When we listed the multiples of two or

numbers that we were comparing, the least common multiple was the smallest number

found in both or all the lists!

So, I bet the LCD works like that with fractions!

The LCD of 2/5 and 1/8 is 40.

Let’s find the LCD!Guided Practice

18

Multiples of the denominator: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

Multiples of the denominator: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

So, what is the LCD or Least Common Denominator (use LCD when referring to fractions)?
