Find all fractions that lie between the following two fractions:
3
4
and
7
12
Find a common denominator:
Using our denominators of 4 and 12, our LCM calculator gives us an answer of 12
Convert fraction 1 based on a least common multiple of 12
We need to multiply top and bottom of the fraction by LCM ÷ Denominator LCM ÷ Denominator = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
3
4
x
3
3
9
12
Since our second fraction has a denominator equal to our least common multiple of 12, we do not convert this fraction
Now that denominators are equal, we show the 1 fraction between the 2 and reduce if necessary:
We take every numerator between 7 and 9
Use a numerator of 8 and a denominator of 12
8
12
Using our GCF calculator, the fraction can be reduced on the top and bottom by 4
8 ÷ 4
12 ÷ 4
=
2
