3. “My Puppy Makes a Pizza” My puppy makes pizza. He bakes every day In a chef hat and apron he's quite the gourmet. He'll roll out some dough and he'll give it a toss, then spread on a generous topping of sauce. He'll heap it with cheeses and mountains of meat, but, still, it's not something you'd probably eat. For though he makes pizza with obvious flair, it all ends up covered with slobber and with hair. --Kenn Nesbitt

40. The LCD

41. Give me a… What’s it stand for? Greatest Common Factor G C F

42. Do you remember the GCF? 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 27: 1, 3, 9, 27 The GCF, or greatest common factor of 18 and 27 is 9.

43. Give me an… What’s it stand for? Least Common Multiple L C M

45. Do you remember the LCM? So, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 24. 6 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 8 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56

46. Give me an… Say what? Oh… well, let’s learn about the L C D now! L C D

47. LCD stands for… Least Common Denominator The number on the bottom! 2 5 1 8 Now, which one was the denominator?

48. 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!

49. Guided Practice Let’s find the LCD! 2 5 Multiples of the denominator: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 The LCD of 2/5 and 1/8 is 40. 1 8 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)?
