You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you are looking to make both denominators the same.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your denominators are:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your denominators are:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(9 * x^2 * y^7) and (3 * x^4 * y^2 * z)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have to multiply your first denominator by z and x^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have to multiply your second denominator by 3 and y^5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you will get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "( 9 * x^2 * y^7 * z * x^2) and (3 * x^4 * y^2 * z * 3 * y^5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since x^2 * x^2 = x^4 in the expression on the left, and 3 * 3 = 9 and y^2 * y^5 = y^7 in the expression on the right, you will get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "( 9 * x^4 * y^7 * z) and (9 * x^4 * y^7 * z)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now the denominators are the same.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the LCD because there is no smaller denominator that you can find that is common to both.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
