It is the bottom number of the fraction which shows the whole or total number of equal parts in which an object is divided. Example: In the fraction $\\frac{3}{5}$, the denominator is 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Kathy and Merry decided to buy a large pizza each. Kathy bought a pepperoni pizza whereas Merry bought a chicken pizza. They both decided to share the pizza. That means Kathy will give 4 slices of her pizza to Merry and Merry will give 4 slices of her pizza to Kathy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">When they both opened the pizza, they saw that Kathy\u2019s pizza was divided into 4 slices and Merry\u2019s pizza was divided into 8 slices. They both got confused. Wouldn\u2019t it be easy if the number of total slices would have been the same i.e. when the denominators would have been the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\"

the denominators of two fractions like or same by finding the LCM of the denominators and then multiplying the fractions by a suitable number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, consider the two fractions $\\frac{1}{4}$ and $\\frac{2}{10}$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 1: Since the denominators are different, we will find the LCM of 4 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">LCM (4, 10) = 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Step 2: Multiply by suitable numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
