Least Common Denominator of 35, 38 and 42 (LCD of 35, 38 and 42)

Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 35, 38, and 42

The Least Common Denominator of 35, 38 and 42, also known as the Lowest Common Denominator of 35, 38 and 42, is useful if you need to add, subtract, or compare three fractions with the denominators of 35, 38 and 42.

The fractions with 35, 38 and 42 denominators will look like this:

		X
		35

		Y
		38

		Z
		42

The Least Common Denominator of 35, 38 and 42 is 3990.

You need to multiply 35 by 114, 38 by 105, and 42 by 95 to make them all 3990. 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 114
		35 x 114

		Y x 105
		38 x 105

		Z x 95
		42 x 95

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

		114X
		3990

		105Y
		3990

		95Z
		3990

You can substitute X, Y and Z with the numerators of your fractions with 35, 38 and 42 denominators. This way you can add, subtract and compare your fractions correctly.
