About this tool

The common denominator calculator rewrites several fractions with the same denominator:

  • Any number of fractions: add as many as you need
  • Least common denominator: the LCM of all denominators is chosen automatically
  • Working shown: each fraction shows the multiplier (LCM divided by its old denominator)
  • Result list: all converted fractions in one place

What finding a common denominator means

Fractions with different denominators are rewritten as equivalent fractions sharing one denominator. The key is the LCM of the denominators. For example 1/4 and 1/6 become 3/12 and 2/12.

When to use it

  • The step before adding or subtracting fractions
  • Comparing the size of several fractions
  • Teaching and learning fractions
