Least Common Denominator of 2, 4 and 50 (LCD of 2, 4 and 50)

Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 2, 4, and 50

The Least Common Denominator of 2, 4 and 50, also known as the Lowest Common Denominator of 2, 4 and 50, is useful if you need to add, subtract, or compare three fractions with the denominators of 2, 4 and 50.

The fractions with 2, 4 and 50 denominators will look like this:

		X
		2

		Y
		4

		Z
		50

The Least Common Denominator of 2, 4 and 50 is 100.

You need to multiply 2 by 50, 4 by 25, and 50 by 2 to make them all 100. Furthermore, you need to multiply the numerators by the same amounts to keep the fraction values the same.

Therefore, you have to make the following calculations so the fractions keep the same value and get the same denominator:

		X x 50
		2 x 50

		Y x 25
		4 x 25

		Z x 2
		50 x 2

Which gives you the following three new fractions that you can add, subtract and compare:

		50X
		100

		25Y
		100

		2Z
		100

You can substitute X, Y and Z with the numerators of your fractions with 2, 4 and 50 denominators. This way you can add, subtract and compare your fractions correctly.
