Answer the question.Explain why, when one number is a factor of another, the least common denominator of the numbers is the larger number.
What will be an ideal response?
Every prime factor of the smaller number is contained in the prime factorization of the larger number. Then the least common denominator will contain each prime factor exactly the number of times it appears in the larger number, and hence, is the larger number.
