Find the least common denominator of the following pair of fractions: 7/8 1/2 a. 16 b. 8 c. 24 d. 2 can someone explain?

B. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is the least common denominator because the denominator of 1/2 is 2 and 2 can go into 8 so it's 8; )

b. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least common denominator we need to find the least common multiple.

Therefore;

multiples of 2 = 2,4,6,8,10, etc

multiples of 8 = 8,16,24,32,40, etc

Find the least common multiple out of these ...

Then that would equal to 8.

least means the lowest common that's why it is 8.
